I've got: A) Count the goal. B) and C) Do not count the goal.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I think this is the gist of what the "controversy" was a few years ago, at least around here. We had a huge rivalry game where a similar play occured. A1 threw a bullet pass that B2 deflected (off his noggin) and into the basket. There was about 5 sec. left in the game. And if the basket counted A would have been up 1. Crew Chief said don't count it, U1 said count it, U2 said, "I'm going with the crew chief simply because if we are wrong, I can blame the crew chief!!" (He no longer works in our association!)
