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
It is a judgement call. If hitting the ball, alters the shooters arm trajectory yhen no foul. But if the defender swipes wildly and would have hit the shooter anyway, then possibly a foul.

Share Answer: 
I believe state rules and bylaws differ on this. Some states allow protests and replays, some do not.
Share Answer: 
In NFHS rules a player can retrieve the ball even if it does not touch the ring or backboard as long as the shot was a legitimate try for a basket. However, the backboard is like the floor when there is no shot, so in your scrnario it would be travelling because it was not a legit shot at the basket.
