Agreed. I was just trying to stress that at the end of a game, we need to be aware of all aspects of the game situation, including the probability of a last second shot attempt, whether it is initiated from the backcourt or the frontcourt.
Thanks.

Allow me to make it a bit more fun. I've altered the OP with the text in red put in the brackets.

With 2 seconds left, A1, still in the backcourt, heaves the ball towards [the opposing] team's basket. As the ball is in the air, the buzzer sounds. The ball goes in the basket.

What do you have?

Game over. Team A wins. Ball is dead when the buzzer sounds. The throw is not considered a try/tap so it does not have the same rights that trys and taps do.

Now, break is over, and its back to work!
