And it upsets the gamblers and bookies.

If the former, I think that it is time to end the game.
You can't by rule. You have to first "instruct"(i.e. warn) the player/team not to do that again. You can only forfeit if a player/team repeatedly committed acts which you considered as making a travesty of the game. You knew that.

Nevada - Score was tied prior to the dunk
Amused - Good point. It also gets played over and over again in slow motion. Just like Jimmy Chitwoods shot in Hoosiers, Roy Hobbs homer in The Natural and I am sure there were one or two in the Gabe Kaplan classic Fast Break!
JR - I'm sure you were not intimating that I base my career (officiating at least) on conning people.
And for the record:
I thoroughly stretch before I pat my own back. As we get older it is more and more important that we stretch before any strenuous activity
The coaches were very knowledgeable about the game. They were very helpful with pointing out 3 second calls, over the back and reach fouls. They were particularly helpful in pointing out to us that every drive to the basket should be an "and 1". Swell guys really.

Nope, I sureasheck wasn't. It should be a learning experience for anybody, as it is any time that you run into one of these oddball plays....or any play that you're not quite certain about. My comments were made for a broader audience.

Jmo but a good option is to always have a rule/case book in your bag and get right into it post-game when everything is still fresh to confirm whether you aced or kicked the call. Doing it with your partners is a bonus for them also.

I like where Nevada is going with this... it is true that there could be more than meets the eye. However, if we take the play at face value, this is an indefensible improper application of a rule. Be thankful this happened in a summer game... ha, ha, enjoy it, AND BE GLAD IT HAPPENED IN A SUMMER GAME.

What seems to be absent in the entire thread is nobody mentioning what the definition of a "try" is. If you know the definition, then you know you can't have a shooting foul from an attempt on the wrong basket.

All big plays in the movies happen in slow motion.
