tapped into wrong basket

[DenverRef]

So we all agree the basket counts in the original posting scenario, because the horn was after it went through the basket.

But what if this scenario happens:

B leads A 60-59 in the 4th quarter. A1's try hits the backboard and before the horn sounds, ball caroms off of B1's hands and ricochets high in the air and towards A's basket. While in the air and before the ball hit hits the ring, the horn sounds. The ball then passes through the basket and the net.

So according to some of your posts, in this scenario the basket does NOT count, right? because the ball is dead at the sound of the horn?

Correct...because the ONLY way B can touch the ball is if the try had ended. If they were to touch it before the try were over, it would have been GT or BI (I'm reading the question to say the ball was on its way down).

Correct. And an NCAA crew actually got this play wrong a few years ago in a game at Virginia Tech which caused a lot of memos to be sent out.

If it's still a try, then the period doesn't end until the try ends, so the basket will count.

The official must judge if it's still a try (and if the official is having trouble with the OP and this latest play, it's likely s/he'll have trouble with "when a try ends.")
