Sorry. I had to drive my parents to the airport this morning. See? Sometimes I actually do have a life.

Anyway, here's my "contribution". Let's change the scenario slightly.

Please don't! That's why things really get messed up!

A1 begins his try. B1 bats the ball out of A1's hands before A1 releases the try. (So far, it's the same.) But suppose that instead of directing the ball toward the backcourt, B1's bat sends the ball toward A's goal. The ball is in flight. The horn sounds, ending the period. The ball enters the basket. You gonna count it?

The try doesn't end until
1- it's apparent the shot won't score,
2- the ball hits the floor,
3- when the ball becomes dead or
4- the shot is successful.

What happens in this play? 4- the shot is successful.
