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?

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?

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

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?
