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.

Broken street light?

Back, a million years ago, when I was playing playground basketball, I would hate shooting at a rim without a net. If it wasn't a simple layup, I would pass instead of shoot. No jump shots, not even little ten footers. I was completely psyched out without that net.

I don't know. I'm just reaching here, trying to figure out why it's a CE, and not just a play-on from the time the error is found.
