20 Years Experience
Chicago, IL
Male, 60
For twenty years I officiated high school, AAU and park district basketball games, retiring recently. For a few officiating is the focus of their occupation, while for most working as an umpire or basketball referee is an avocation. I started ref'ing to earn beer money during college, but it became a great way to stay connected to the best sports game in the universe. As a spinoff, I wrote a sports-thriller novel loosely based on my referee experiences titled, Advantage Disadvantage
Not a violation, but it unsportsmanlike. The ref should shoo the player away.

Share Answer: 
A try (rulebook jargon for a shot) ends when it is clear that it will not go directly in the ring. So if a try goes up in the air and then bounces on the floor, the try ended, and in your example time ran out. No basket.
Share Answer: 
It is unsportsmanlike and it should void the free throw.

Ok, so A1 is going in for a layup. After the ball leaves A1's hands, A2 is fouled by B1. Count A1's basket. The foul by B1 is a common foul, meaning one and one free throws are attempted only if Team B has 7, 8 or 9 fouls. If Team B has 10+ fouls, two free throws are attempted. If Team B has 6 or less fouls (in this half for all of these) then A gets the ball out of bounds with no free throws.

Yes. Also on a rectangular backboard if yhe ball goes over the top it is out of bounds.
Share Answer: 
Since the timer or the clock had a malfunction, the referee must mak an assessment. Given all the passes most likely the basket should not count.
