1. The ball got wedged between the rim and backboard.


How many have ever seen this happen on a free throw? I thought it was all but impossible but this year I have seen it twice.
I had it determine the outcome of a HS Boys varsity summer tournament a few months ago. Team is down four with five seconds to play. They inbound the ball and the defense fouls with 2 seconds left. Double bonus. Kid makes the first, and tries to miss the second on purpose, but wedges it between the rim and the backboard.
The team that is down by 3 has the arrow. On the inbounds play, they make a three to tie the game and win in OT.
Down by three why would you intentionally miss a free throw?
