OT: This almost happened in the Michigan game Sunday.

The player threw a court length pass and it just missed going in the basket. It wouldn't be a 3 pointer since the player was standing out of bounds. So would it be a do over and where would the ball be put, back on the end line or at mid court or would it just go to the possession arrow?

What a great question. I saw that play, but didn't think of that...

I'd think opposition's ball from where the previous inbounds was thrown

So your thinking is it's treated like a turnover even though the ball never left the court or was stolen? I'm leaning towards possession arrow.

Inbound Violation, inbounder throws ball directly into the basket | NBA Video Rulebook

For the NBA,

Inbound Violation, inbounder throws ball directly into the basket​

“This is an example of a violation on an inbounds play. The inbounding offensive player, Steph Curry, throws the ball directly into the basket. This is a violation, as during a throw-in, the ball must be touched by one of the other nine players in the game to be legal. Following the violation, the ball would be awarded to the opposing team at the original throw-in spot.”

I would assume the NCAA rule is the same but not 100% sure.

Same situation, if an offensive player tips it in but it was in the cylinder, does it count? My guess no but if the ball had gone in it wouldn’t have been a basket so why would it get waived off?

No basket, I say. Guessing ball has to “pass through” cylinder. Would guess possession arrow on inbounds pass that goes in.

This explains it, and I'm sure the NCAA would have it this way also. I was thinking along the lines of a ball gets wedged between the side of the rim and the backboard, which is treated with a look at the possession arrow.
