Miami at Wake Forest 3pt play

My advice to anybody who has this in a college try out camp: count the basket. College mentality is that this is a great athletic and strong play by A1 and he is going to get rewarded for playing through the foul.

Serious question, would you count it at the HS level?

Yes. In a heartbeat.

Yes I would and I'm sure I've done so in the past.

Thanks.

There are times in basketball I still struggle to find what the proper mix of philosophy and rulebook application is. I can't say I've seen a play like this yet but I have a feeling if I have, I would have wiped the shot

Instead of the play in the video think about this play:

2 football player sized big men in the post. A1 has the ball below his waist and starts to raise it while elevating for his try attempt. B1 whacks his wrists, A1 bobbles basketball, A1 gathers it back in around chest level and finishes successful try.

Can you imagine explaining to A1's coach why you are awarding 2 shots instead of going with an "And 1"?

If you want to see heads explode, let's talk about holding a whistle on a foul to ensure that the foul is put on the shot attempt rather than rushing in like the cavalry to tell everyone it was "before the shot".

OK I have done that before.

NBA's reasoning as well for counting the basket and I tend to agree with both of their reasoning
