The Period of Time After a Made basket?
I've never really given this much thought, and don't know the answer,
but what actually happens after a made basket?
The defending team must take the ball outside the baseline and inbound.
But what is the "status" of that gap in between.
I have always just assumed that (as in many sports) the ball is effectively "dead" and play is halted.
I don't recall having noticed this before, but that's probably just poor attention or memory on my part.
I've seen a couple of times recently where a player has been called for a foul "after the basket."
One was offensive off the ball.
In the other the defender was called for fouling the shooter, after the basket.
In both cases, the basket stood, and the foul was adjudicated.
