Who should be credited with the basket?
Since this is in your realm of expertise, who do you think should be credited with the basket and why?
Very interesting. I was listening to the game via radio and thought it would be credited to the closest Duke player or credited as a team basket. I have since seen the replay and it really is Kelly's shot that went in. Although wide left it was his shot and Zeller guided it into the basket. The basket was credited to Kelly but only for two. Regardless of where the shot was attempted, by rule if the ball is touched by a defender before going in the basket it counts only two points. Now what I am trying to figure out now is how they handled Kelly's attempt statistically. Was he credited with a missed three point attempt and a made two point attempt? He only shot it one time. I have calls in to appropriate people to find out. Interesting.
Keeper, if a carolina player had guided Rivers' game winner into the hoop would that have been ruled a 2 to tie as opposed to a 3 for the win? Is it still goal-tending if a heel had jumped up, grabbed the ball and jammed it into his own goal?
I'm sure that is a dumb question but based on your explanation above....
My guess is that you can't deliberately incompetently goaltend (guiding an attempted 3 into the hoop to make it a 2) anytime the ball has a chance of going in.
The refs told the announcers that the shot had no chance, hence it's a 2.
Of course, that doesn't square with the wiki quote above. Under that logic, lectro's "deliberately incompetent goaltending" gambit might work anytime a team is down 3.
I always assumed that it was the last player on the opposing team that touched the ball.
Saw this shown under "own goal" from the all-knowing wiki -
In NCAA basketball, the rules state: "When a player scores a field goal in the opponent’s basket, it shall count two points for the opponent regardless of the location on the playing court from where it was released. Such a field goal shall not be credited to a player in the scorebook but shall be indicated with a footnote."
I had no idea how they might score it, so it would be interesting to know what they did last night, keeper.
This is how it should have been scored correctly. It wasn't
this is by far the most interesting post that Keeper has ever made and I mean that as a compliment (sorta. kinda. ok not really)
