A little comedic relief

The shooters team wanted us to give them another shot (so three in total), or count the first shot as a make (never went through the rim).

I get it. I was thrown off by your phrase, "We blew it and gave him his second shot." I didn't mean to be a plumber/classical linguist about it.

I have had a lot of putts come to rest on the edge of the cup. I get an extra stroke, but that isn't what I wanted. In this case, it is like a missed putt as far as scoring is concerned. But the shooter cannot "Re-Putt".

Only if the other team fouls him again.

Never happened to me when I'm officiating, but it did happen to my schools BV team back in my high school days.

I don't remember how they got the ball down, because none of the players on either team could jump high enough to touch it. Probably ended up using a practice ball to knock it off its perch.

Just ask if anybody can get it down. When they do, it's basket interference. Administer the next free throw.

Only if the defense does it. If the offense does it, it'll be a lane violation first.

Then wouldn't you have T-time under 10-9-3? (Presuming it's a defender, of course.)
