[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dan_ref
A try for field goal is an attempt by a player to score 2 or 3 points by throwing or tapping the ball into his or her basket. Clearly the ball is in flight away from the shooter's own basket, in fact it is in flight towards his oppnent's basket, is it not? I request the court rule in my favor that this play does not meet the requirements as set forth and rule that team control has not ended. Nothing further, your honor.

Motion denied with force. Note that the words you quoted say that it is an attempt to score into his or her own basket. Even though the shot was swatted the other direction, this doesn't change the fact that the try attempt was made towards the shooter's own basket. :-)
