Team B was up by 2 points and time expired with the try in flight? ;-)

No advantage gained? ;-)

The basket would still count.

There is only one reason I can imagine not calling a punch, and this isn't it.

I suspect the answer is the same for all of these questions.

A: Because the official was not looking where he should have been.

Due to what's not said, I can see legitimate answers to 1 and 3 besides this one. This is the only one that makes sense on #2, though; unless he's defining "punch" differently than the rules do.
