You didnt see that "My name is Earl" episode with the hole-in-one bit?

Ball coming to rest - photo op

This happened to me once several years ago late in a game that had also been decided as to who would win. We actually took a few minutes to allow the fans, school officials and even players to take photos.

Boys JV - The game winner has been determined earlier in the quarter and the subs from both teams are playing their hearts out. Last shot of the game; Ball goes up, rolls around the rim, rolls onto the flange, horn goes off, and the ball comes to rest on the flange.

It was a crowd pleaser for sure and everyone leaves the gym with a smile.

It's the first time I have ever seen it and I was wondering how often it really happens - How many of you have actually seen it happen?

I've seen it twice in same school, same gym, same basket. Both times on FTA's. Couple of seasons apart.

AND

Once at a JUCO women's game on a layup attempt. This season.

must be the air up here.:rolleyes:

Must be something sticky on the flange.
