Full court shot one hop

1. This should be a two pointer? I changed my mind. It is a 2 using 5-2-1.

2. If clock expires while ball is in the air, it is dead when the ball hits the floor? The answer to this question is yes, and no. The ball remains live until the try ends which is described below.

*5.1.1 SITUATION B:

A pass, a tap or a try for field goal by A1 is in flight when the horn sounds indicating the expiration of time in the third quarter. The ball subsequently comes down several feet in front of the basket, strikes the floor without touching any player and bounces into the basket.

RULING: When deemed a pass and not a try, the ball becomes dead immediately when the horn sounds. However, a try or tap by A1 towards A's basket does not become dead until the try or tap ends, which it does when it touches the floor. Therefore, no points are scored. (4-41-2, 4-41-4, 4-41-5)
So if the horn sounds anytime after the ball bounces it is dead immediately and can not be scored.

Funny how Stuart Scott just confidently said "And yes it was a good three pointer".

Stuart Scott was correct, in how it played out. The officials on the game scored it as three points.

They have since repented.

The confession came first.

The two events might be related, then.

Something is VERY wrong with that phrase. Almost like "Skip Bayless is a sharp guy."

You know what they say about leading a stopped clock to a train.

5.1.1 Situation A:

A pass, tap or a try for field goal by A1 comes down several feet in front of the basket in the middle of the third quarter. The ball strikes the floor without touching any player and bounces into the basket.

Ruling: Two points are scored. The tap or the try for field goal by A1 ends when the ball touches the floor but a field goal is sometimes scored when it is not the result of a tap or a try.

You might want to read that ruling better. If the attempt is ruled a shot, and the horn sounds before the ball strikes the ground, the shot ends when the ball hits the ground and no points can be scored.

And, if the horn sounds after the bounce but before the ball enters the basket (hmm -- or is it passes through the basket?), the ball is dead at that time and no points are scored.
