The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A-1, in the frontcourt, inbounds the ball to A-2 in the backcourt. A-2 is confused and attempts a jump shot from behind the three-point line at B’s basket. The ball goes through the basket.
Handle the situation.
Score two points for Team B. One can only have try or tap at one’s own basket. By rule, to have a three-point goal, a player must be throwing the ball at his/her own goal. Team A will inbound the ball from the end line with the right to move along the end line as after any goal.
