How about this one on an inbounds play:

Inbounder alley oops it to a big man near the basket and the inbounds alley oop goes in the basket without LEGALLY touching a player from either team.

No hoop because the ball was not LEGALLY touched before it went in the basket. The ball has to be legally touched before it can become live after an inbounds pass.

Speaking of inbound plays. How about this difference in fouls on an inbound play and shooting FTs.

Team A has 7 team fouls in each scenario.

Scenario 1: A1 inbounds to A2. After A2 legally touches the ball A3 pushes B1. Even though Team A has 7 team fouls and fouls someone from Team B there are no FTs for B1 because this a team control foul.

Scenario 2 : While A1 is attempting to inbound the ball A3 pushes B1. There is no team control during a throw in. This is Team A's 8th team foul therefore B1 goes to the FT line to shoot a 1 and 1.
