I'm with you. It's not a try so it had to either remain in the basket or pass through it before the period ended.

No points scored. It's not a try, so the ball is dead as soon as the buzzer sounds/light goes on. The ball had yet to enter the basket, so it's nothing.

I think the new T (old L) thinks it shouldn't count.

Agreed it is not a try, but what was that first buzzer?

In a way it's too bad the rules say it shouldn't count. Stupidity should have a price.

We don't have that in my area and at my level. Never think to look for that.

Why is it not a try?

What's the definition of a try?

Oh, my gosh! That's what I get for staying-up/getting-up so late!
