Nope, but keep digging your own grave.

You just won't listen.

And you'd be 100% wrong. Quit making stuff up. Doing what you're doing is the genesis of inconsistency. If everyone starts modifying the rules to be the way they might like them, we have a horrible mess.

Absolutely not. You could chop the shooters arms off with a hatchet and the ball that was already released would be completely unaffected....unless, perhaps, Yoda is in the building.

A month ago, I had a similar play on a 3-point shot where the shooter returned to the floor, was fouled on the box out, and I awarded 3 free throws. I knew in my head that I got it wrong, but it took this thread to confirm that to me.

I had a similar play in a game tonight on a 3-point shot, except this time the shot was made and I correctly awarded the ball to the team that made the basket. Even though I was clearly communicating that the basket was good, the foul was after the shot, and that the shooting team gets the ball, everyone in the gym was confused. I don't think they had ever seen it before. Ironically enough, the defensive team's coach was cool as could be about it and it was the coach of the team that made the 3-pointer and got the ball out of bounds that was upset with the call.

Because of the discussion on this thread, I was prepared to get it right this time. I appreciate everyone's input.
