What do you got?

Does the ball change direction from hitting the rim...or from hitting the player? I'm still not convinced from the video.

I think it went in. It looked (to me) that it changed direction before the player got to it...which means it was the rim and only the inside of the rim could have changed it in the way that it changed.

Any of you saying that you aren't sure the ball went in really need to visit your optometrist soon!!

The ball *clearly* goes in. If you need to go back and slo-mo or freeze frame it, it is even *more* obvious!

It seems like everyone knows it went in too, except for the kid that grabbed it and took off back up the court.

Looks to me like the lead thought it went in too based on his body language. He should have blown the play dead and instructed the other team to take the ball OOB.

If all three officials somehow do not know it went in (which is a travesty in and of itself!), they should ask the table for help. It should be obvious based on the protest by the coach, fans, etc. that they missed it!

Not a very good way to start off the game!

Wouldn't be the first time I've been called blind in reference to a basketball game, but usually I hear that from the fans.

LOL ... Well, we really should be getting the ones that we can watch over and over again on video correct!

I can understand how this was missed in real time even though either the C or T should have gotten this.

However, with the advantage of replay the ball obviously goes through the rim. I'm shocked that multiple people are saying they can't tell whether or not the ball went in.

Somebody said that none of the players reacted as if it went in. Simply not true. All of the white players, except the one who got the ball, react as if the ball went in. White 3 momentarily puts his hand up to take the ball out of bounds before his teamate takes off with it.

And the body language of all of the blue players is to turn their backs to the ball as if they are going to play defense after a made basket, not transition. Also the blue player closest to the table almost immediately signals for a three as does the entire blue bench.

Totally agree —*there were only 4 people in the entire gym that didn't realize the ball went in ... the player that grabbed it and the 3 officials!!
