A rising crossing does not score until a downward entry occurs. Compare this with the rule that governs the move. Take a moment to compare.
Pay attention to this rule
Backboard contact alone is not a basket. Take a moment to reassess the position before continuing. Take enough time to read a new position. If a game has a timer, learn its controls first rather than searching for them during the round.
