tapped into wrong basket

[DenverRef]

Can you guys help - I keep looking for this and cant find it in the rule book.

B leads A 60-59 in the 4th quarter. A1's try hits the backboard and before the horn sounds B1 taps the ball into A's basket.

Does the basket count?

[APG]

No.

Why not? A tap is a try unless .3 or less is on the clock.

He already admitted he read it too fast, but your second sentence isn't relevant to the OP.

A tap is a try even with less than 0.3 on the clock.

But not at the opponent's basket.

Did the ball enter the basket before the horn?

[DenverRef]

Yes the ball goes through before the horn sounds-

Where in the IAABO rulebook does it cover this?

Of course I don't have my rulebook on me, but I will run out at lunch and grab it from my car.

But to answer your question, yes the points are awarded.

If the "tap" was when the try had not ended, then I see nothing wrong with counting the basket as long as the try was still in flight. B touching the ball itself does not necessarily end the try.

If the tap occurred before the try had ended, I think we'd either have GT or BI. Can't imagine how someone could tap a try into the basket otherwise. We're not talking about a "tip" as occurs when a player attempts to block a shot.

5-1-1 and 5-2-1.
Any live ball that enters the basket (except a throw-in) scores at least two points. Why would this not count?
