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"?
