Held Ball ...

All three officials passed on the held ball, probably because the lead's whistle sounded for the holding foul before the shooter returned to the floor.

If no foul had been called, I'm pretty sure...

Not Released ...

That's the part that stymied me in this situation.

Act Of Shooting ...

So, because the ball does not become dead until the try or tap for field goal ends, or until the airborne shooter returns to the floor, A1 should have been awarded two free throws?

A1 jumps to attempt try and is in the act of shooting. B1 also jumps and legally blocks A1's shot such that A1 is unable to release the ball. Gravity takes over as both airborne A1 and airborne B1...

Falling Into The Basket ???

Does it matter that the lodged ball has absolutely no chance of falling and ending up in the basket, thus no basket interference, offensive or defensive, should be called?

Wow! In my high school games I've either got a player/team control foul, or a defensive foul, or a loose ball foul, or nothing, on almost all of these plays.

Blocked Shot ...

How about a blocked (deflected) shot (no foul) that goes in (similar, but different, than the interpretation)?

Dead ball immediately?

What If ???

Just noticed that the interpretation was not a foul, but a blocked shot.

Original situation was a foul, is it handled differently than a blocked shot?

Why the 180 degree turn here?

For the past forty-three-plus years (probably longer) the home team has worn white (light color previous to 2007-08).

If it ain't broke, why fix it?
