When a team shoots just before the 30 sec shot clock buzzes, and the ball is in the air, does the goal count if it goes in after the buzzer (as in a last second shot in a game, where the ball is released in time)? Or, does it actually have to hit the rim (or go in) before the buzzer, to avoid a violation?

Dan Ref: I wish you were my partner earlier tonight.
JV boys, I am the trail, shot goes up from 3 point arc, buzzer buzzes, ball enters hoop. I indicate the goal counts. My partner comes out with a "no basket" and explains very firmly (to the table) that the ball was in the air when the 30 sec clock buzzed, and it must hit the rim before the buzzer. This is not like a last second shot where the ball can be in the air (he said). This was a 20 year veteran. I kept thinking about no team control during a try, that the goal should count, and we (he) should have ignored the horn. Then I thought maybe I was the crazy one...

Ouch! We've had the shot clock in MA long enough that the official should know that the ball only needs to be released on the shot and then hit the rim or go in the basket. That's terrible. Please tell me this 20 year vet doesn't also do college, Marty. As Mad Dog would say, That's a bad job by him.
