We just got an email last week from the state office, warning us of the consequences of making inappropriate remarks about games, coaches or players on social networking media. Be careful what you say, posts, and do.

It means the basket can be after the buzzer, it's the shot that has to beat it.

Gotcha...I was thinking of terms of the try being released before the horn since that's what the writer meant. My bad.

Maybe the basket came after the buzzer. But, did the try leave the player's hands before the buzzer?

But depending on how you read the OP

....I took it to mean the shot left the player's hand AFTER the buzzer. If that is the case, it should not have counted but still doesn't justify his actions.

Sure that's likely what it means, just sloppy reporting.

Or whoever consulted the TV Replay before the Twitter comments were made doesn't know the rules. That's just as likely.

Maybe, but chances are the coach knows a shot doesn't have to go in before the horn. My money is on sloppy writing.
