Missed FT Attempt. How would you handle it?
I saw this while reading the news online this morning:
High School Basketball Player Breaks Rim with Free Throw ROFLMTO!! MTD, Sr. |
In my opinion it was not clear that the FT was going to be unsuccessful at the time the basket broke. Therefore, the game was interrupted during a FT, so that is the POI. I'm having her attempt the FT again after the necessary repairs are made.

This is most definitely a missed FT attempt. If there were more FT Attempts to follow then shoot them after the rim has been replaced. If this was the first FT of a 1+1, a single FT or the last of a Bonus, or two-shot or three-shot FT sequence I would put the ball back into play with a Jump Ball at the Free Throw Circle, opps, I just woke up from my pre-breakfast nap, I mean I would put the ball back into play with an AP Throw-in.

BNR: I went back and re-read Nevada's post and I think he makes a very valid observation. And though I think that my OP is a valid solution to the situation, I am inclined to agree with both of you. MTD, Sr. |

I say, chose six players and go with 3-on-3 at the other end.
No? Fine. I likely would have gone to the arrow (POI) after the repair, but after reading Nevada's point, I like his idea better. How many times have we seen a successful free throw bounce from the front of the ring? |
I think this definitely falls under the "points not covered in the rules" section... I'm going POI during the free throw, and awarding a replacement FT once the rim gets fixed.

That's Using Your Head ...
It's a good thing that none of the rebounders got hit on the head with the rim. The rim, falling from a height of ten feet, would have had a lot of force at impact. Remember your high school physics? Isaac Newton's Second Law Of Motion? F=ma.

I sure do remember, Sir Issac consulted with me when he was working on the problem. But, when it comes to Calculus, the question you must answer is: Newton or Leibniz? MTD, Sr. |

I think she should have received a flagrant T for intentional destruction of court equipment. Then I would have assessed delay of game Technical fouls for the 45 minute delay. The Head Coach would have been assessed a T for providing faulty equipment. The AD would have been tossed if the school could not have provided at least donuts for the delay...😄

I believe in the Metric System. (but not for basketball, baseball & softball, and golf). MTD, Sr. P.S. Billy, you are a chemist and took Calculus, what is your answer: Newton or Leibniz? |

All I know, for sure, is that Isaac Newton invented calculus because the mathematics of the time wasn't powerful enough for him to help his good friend, Edmund Halley, determine the correct parameters regarding the elliptical orbits of comets. |
