Count the basket with great enthusiasm and walk off to court knowing you did a job well done.

If my partner blows his whistle on this for a backcourt, we're going POI, which is the ball in mid air, we're still counting that basket.

And this is the problem with the team control change and the half-hearted attempts by the rule committee to keep the BC rule the same. They explicitly stated they want everything called the same as before, except for whether free throws are shot. Yet this particular change leads to rulings like Toren notes here, which are incorrect by the intent of the committee, but correct by a literal reading of the rule.

Note: This post assumes the original throw is not ruled a try.

Are you talking about the first video, where the official called a BC on a last second shot, or the video where there was a foul on the last second shot?
