Basket Counts ?

I think the only way it would happen is if A1 put up a try and while it was on its way up - and near the basket - A2 tried a tap dunk to make sure it goes in. That would seem to satisfy 4-41-1.

I thought that it was a relevant citation. So did JetMetFan.

just another ref's post is worth further investigation. At this point, I don't have a strong opinion, so I'll just sit back and be a spectator. Extra butter, please.

Thanks for the Rule references....

When I read Rule 6.7 Art 9 (Exception) - it reads that the '...ball does not become dead until until the try or tap ends...' So does the touch of A2 cause the original 'try' to end? IMHO - I think not.

Also, in the same section, the Note: If A1's try is "legally" touched in flight (does not differentiate by whom), the goal counts if made, if the period ends BEFORE or AFTER the legal touching.

This tells me that the 'legal touch' by A2 would still allow the goal to count either before/after the period ending w/the horn sounding.

Hence, in both scenarios A2 or B2 'legal' touch (according to the rules) appears to allow the goal to count !

bd41flpk: Nice citation. Not bad for a newbie with less than thirty posts.

Situation:
A1, losing his balance, launches a prayer from beyond the three point line. His release point is near the floor. B1 is fighting around a screen by A2, and is able to tip the ball as it's released. B1's tip goes off of A2's head and the ball goes in.

The horn sounds between A1's release and B1's tip, and A2 is standing inside the 3 pt line when it hits his head.

1. Does it count.
2. 2 or 3?

bainsey was kind enough to post this last month:

Three for the opponent?

Couldn't one consider A2's deflection as a tap...and thus it would have to be before the horn/light?

Rule 4, Section 41

ART. 5 . . . A tap for goal is the contacting of the ball with any part of a player’s hand(s) in an attempt to direct the ball into his/her basket.
ART. 6 . . . A tap shall be considered the same as a try for field goal, except as in 5-2-5.
ART. 7 . . . The tap starts when the player’s hand(s) touches the ball.

If it's intentional, sure. I don't think we can do that if it's an accident.
