You know what? I'm going to embarrass myself and admit that I don't know which team Ricky Davis plays for. I'm guessing that he shot at the wrong basket, otherwise I don't see why this would be an issue.

If he shot at the wrong basket, then I would guess there's no rebound, since it's not a shot attempt. It's clearly not illegal to shoot at the wrong basket. But since it's not a legitimate try, there's no rebound for statistical purposes. Hence, no triple-double. That's my guess.

By the way, these stunts just to reach a magical "triple-double" really bug me. Remember a few years ago when a coach (I think it was for Detroit or Atlanta) pulled his team off the court when it became clear that Orlando was setting up an inbounds play with about 5 seconds left simply so a Magic player could get the assist he needed for the triple double. If you can't get it legitimately, what's the point of having it? (Are you listening Michael Strahan?)
