Amesman In the case of a player behind the backboard, say, basically facing the free throw line and "attempting" a "shot" and getting fouled, would this not be akin to shooting at the wrong basket (i.e. not a legit try) attempt so no FTAs merited?
A Pennsylvania Coach AllPurposeGamer wrotethe shot would of been Sigh. Are you a chseagle alias, or a whole different person with the same problem?
APG A Pennsylvania Coach wroteSigh. Are you a chseagle alias, or a whole different person with the same problem? I'm not sure where this is coming from? 😕 If it was for the grammatical error, I apologize. I can assure you that I am a certified official in Texas, and I am not chseagle.
jlfdixie AllPurposeGamer wroteNBA Casebook 2009-2010 145. Player A1 is dribbling under the basket and behind the backboard when he is nudged out-of-bounds by Player B1. A foul is called on Player B1, and, as Player A1 is falling out-of-bounds, he attempts a field goal which must pass directly behind the backboard. How many free throw attempts are awarded if this is the first team foul on Team B? None. The ball is awarded to Team A at the free throw line extended on either side of the court. Since the basket cannot be counted if it goes behind the backboard, it cannot be considered a field goal attempt. This is not to be confused with the foul which occurs in front of the backboard and momentum causes the field goal to be attempted directly behind the backboard. RULE 8 - SECTION II - b What if the ball goes over the backboard but not directly behind it? Is this legal?
APG jlfdixie wroteWhat if the ball goes over the backboard but not directly behind it? Is this legal? Correct. Two examples of it happening this year.

This response is for NFHS rules. Nope, because the player is attempting the try at the proper basket. That is very obvious. You can't say that he isn't.

Then it might be more akin to, say, a spindly 4-foot-1 fifth-grader trying a three-quarters court heave at the end of the half and getting fouled in the act? (No way he/she is ever going to make it but a foul is a foul [shame on the defense]... ?)
Amesman AllPurposeGamer wroteCorrect. Two examples of it happening this year. Both NBA. Would this be allowed per NFHS? (angling it over backboard from behind and to the side). I thought no.
