And D. means that if it's an accident it would count, but in Rule 12 (Fouls) Section 3 it says: A personal foul assessed against an offensive player shall be penalized in the following manner: (1) No points can be scored by the offensive team. Which I would take to mean that a team cannot score points if they commit a foul on the play. - I will add this into the answer above. | |

A field goal accidentally scored in an opponent's basket shall be added to the opponent's score, credited to the opposing player nearest the shooter and mentioned in a footnote. e. It is a violation for a player to attempt a field goal at an opponent's basket. The opposing team will be awarded the bal at the free throw line extended. | |

Richmond | So if the defensive player in that case was also confused, and was trying to stop the shot, say even fouling the player with the ball while dunking the basketball into the wrong basket, the points would still be waved off? So in that case the foul itself ends the play? | |
| Jan 9, 2014 at 12:38 | comment | added | Donald C. Richmond | Thanks for the feedback. I wasn't aware of the stipulation in the rulebook that says "A shooting foul can only occur when trying to shoot at the basket which will increase your own team's score." I know it is uncommon for players to intentionally shoot at the wrong basket (not unlike a football player running the wrong way to score a TD), but it does happen from time to time, most often I think after an opening tip of a game or overtime. | |
