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-5 attempts a last second try from the backcourt. The horn sounds while the ball is in the air. The ball hits the floor in frontcourt, bounces high, hits the backboard and passes through the basket.
Handle the situation.
This is not a goal. The try ended when it hit the floor. Since time had expired, the ball became dead when it hit the floor. A dead ball passed through the basket.
