Free Throw At Wrong Basket

Either:

(a) the officials allowed everyone to go the wrong way -- the FT is missed, A2's basket counts for A, line everyone up and go the right way with a throw in for B, or

(b) the FT was at the wrong end -- A re-shoots at the right end, A2's basket counts for B, A gets a throw-in.

I agree, the two options are at variance and cannot be "co applied" , so please select either a or b?

Interesting thought. What one do you go with?

Of all the CEs, this is the dumbest, IMO, as it doesn't really affect anything. This scenario is a hole in the rules, IMO, so I'm nto sure how I'd rule. I'd just hope I could look back and see one team or the other with the ball ready for a throw in after that FT before we killed the play.

I agree with you there. Not sure why you need a CE for a free throw at the wrong basket.

Yeah, I don't get that either. Just allow whatever happened before the error was found and continue at the correct basket. Why re-do the attempts? I guess it's in case one side is more advantageous to shoot at (fans and other distractions at one end?), therefore making them shoot at one or the other evens things out. But is it just that, in which case it seems silly?

Wind? Sun in eyes?

Hey, don't laugh. We play summer ball outdoors in my neck of the woods. Wind and sun are factors in some games.
