B3's tap is not considered a try. If the period ends before the ball passes into the basket (which it certainly would with 2 tenths on the clock), the ball immediately becomes dead and no goal is counted.

[Mark Padgett]

Based on how you describe it, you are correct. It is not a legal try therefore the ball becomes dead on the horn. There is no "shot".

[Adam]

You are correct, and for the correct reason.

Case play 6.7.6A is close, in that it's not a try and time expires.

The long pass hits B3 (as in OP) but then also is tipped by A5 and goes in after horn?

...with .02 seconds left? Is chseagle running the clock? (Sorry eagleman...j/k)

When did we start doing indoor track where the scoreboard displays hundreths of a second?

Judgment call. Was A5's tip an attempt to score?

[letemplay]

Yes, that was how A drew the play up. Their only chance is a long pass from A1 to A5 for a tip. Wrench in plan is B3 gets a hand on it first, followed by A5's tap. Could we have two touches in .02?

The rule states with .3 or less, a player (meaning one player) can tap the ball and acore. It does not say two players can tap the ball and still score.

It also doesn't say two players can't tap the ball and score.

If the taps are sufficiently close together such that the time from the first touch to the final touch is less than 0.3, the shot counts. If the final touch is by the defense, only the first tap must beat the 0.3 time.

The only thing this rule is intended to preclude is a catch and shoot.

Tony, while I'm not sure I agree or disagree with your premise, I don't think your argument applies here. I believe the definitition of a tap is also a try for goal, and since I doubt B3 and A5 were both trying to score, we can assume only A5 tapped the ball, and B3 didn't tap it, but only touched it. Therefore, we're back to only one player actually tapping the ball.

All that said, I find it very difficult to believe that 2 players can touch the ball, and the ball be in the air after touching the second player, before 0.2 seconds have passed.

Edit: Looks like Camron beat me to it.

You could use 6.7.6A as an example.

[M&M Guy]

You are also correct that the same play that happens with 3 minutes left counts, because the rule states that points are scored when a live ball passes through the basket. Notice it doesn't say when a "try" passes through the basket. That's where the other side of the disagreement was confused - there is a difference between what happens with a "try" and a "live ball". In the case of a try in the air, the ball does not become dead on the horn, but the horn does make a live ball dead immediately.
