Made a layup at wrong basket
Had my first official games of the season last night. Had the old made-a-layup-in-the-wrong-basket come up.
Team A inbounds from the endline furthest from their basket. A2 catches the inbounds pass and immediately shoots and makes a layup...in the wrong basket. We stopped play, counted the two points for B, then set up for a throw in by Team A. Only problem was, I couldn't remember whether or not it's a spot throw in. So which is it? |
Newer official here.
Without the help of my rulebook
I would assume this to be a running the endline situation. Reason I say that is, it would penalize Team A even more than just awarding Team B 2 points, it would now cost them the ability to run the endline. That seems to me to be too much of a penalty for being ignorant on the part of Team A. |
Yes, the ensuing throw-in is anywhere along the endline. 7-5-7

Look at it this way, it is still an awarded (made) basket. So the rules apply the same as with other situations on a made basket.
Peace |
It is still a goal even if it was not a try.
|
It would be a d**k of a rule to not let A run the end line after a mess up like that.
|
Hate to be a rules guy but .......
for definition purposes only, this play is not considered a try for goal. I say that because if that player was fouled ther would be no free throws unless team A was in the bonus....... as it can't be a shooting foul.
OK - off the sopabox!!!!!!! |

So if a common foul occurs during the throw (at the opponent's goal), continuous motion does not apply and no free throws are awarded. |

I've seen this happen twice in games I've worked. (One opposing coach accepted the points; the other declined.) Both times, the kids were too embarrassed to even consider running the line.
