Whatchagot?
Had a fellow official poise this senerio from one of his games and decided it would be a good one for the forum.
A1 drives to the basket and releases the ball before time expires in the quarter. A2 leaps into the air in anticipation of an rebound and as he leaps, B1 steps underneath him without making contact. It was reasonable for A2 to believe that, given B1's position on the floor, he might be injured if he returned directly to the floor so A2 grasped the rim to avoid injury. However, when he grasped the rim, the ball was in the basket but had not come all the way through the net. The crew decided that since A1 had grasped the basket to avoid injury, it was not basket interference and counted the basket. By rule, did they get it right? |

JR and Nevada -
Thank you gentlemen - I was just too busy/tired/trifling to do the research myself. |
Lets add another twist to this play. Suppose the officials got together at the first dead ball after incorrectly awarding points on the play, determined they had erred, and invoked a correctable ruling using 2-10-1e.
Could this, in your opinion, be considered a correctable error? |
Quote:
There is a case play which says that the officials can correct the error if they erroneously count or cancel points on a BI call, but that assumes that the call was actually made. |
Seems like a good way to start a riot even if they were correct in taking away the awarded points!

What they can correct is the points that should have been credited/not-credit as a result of the BI as called. Examples...

They got it wrong 100% of the time. As others have said 99% of the time thats a BI call. No basket but no Tech. 1% of the time its a Duke player on the rim in the dying minutes of huge game. In that case you count the hoop, call a foul on player near the guy who jumped up and hung on the rim, when he lands let him shoot free throws, and then when he starts celebrating and talking trash on the landing call a tech on the first kid from the defensive team who sticks up for their teammates while allowing everyone else in the ensuing scrum to do or say whatever they feel like. ;) |

Duke vs. Baylor
There was a missed offensive BI on a dunk attempt by a Duke player. |
