A little comedic relief

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.

Not if it's already sitting on the rim, right?

Crap, it's early. You're right.

Yeah, that's the first thing that came to my mind too, until my parter reminded me that it can't be a lane violation.

Beemer...your real name wouldn't happen to be Ralph, and you are a little farther South in WA...because this EXACT thing happened to his crew last week.

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

Nope. Read the rule again carefully. What's the T for? Did that happen in our scenario? Why or why not?

Oops. Meant to type 10-3-9 anyway.

So upon re-reading definitions are we saying this wouldn't be considered "outside the cylinder" during a FTA? (4-22) Ergo no GT? Thus no 10-3-9 infraction?

Or is it that 4-6-1 (or 4-6-3) applies here to make it BI? Still a bit

Correct. No T, because it's not GT. It is BI. Ball is on the basket (ring, flange, or net), so touching the basket or the ball is basket interference.

Thanks for the reminder. For some reason this didn't ever come into play even once in my girls feeder or freshmen games last weekend.
