Um...one heck of a basketball shot?

 "Coach Babbitt 11 hours ago

Just to clarify. It was a shot attempt. She shot it a bit early, but they stopped the clock when it went in because they didn't know how to score it.  The clock should have kept running."

Last Friday, Anna Olsen made a shot that was so stunning it takes a moment to realize what she’s done. It was a shot so improbable we wondered if it counted extra. (It didn't.) Olsen, who plays for Lewis-Palmer High School in Monument, Colo., made her shot of a lifetime at the end of the third quarter when she didn't realize she had about 15 seconds left on the clock and went for a buzzer-beater. She launched a nearly full-court shot that landed well short of the basket, took a friendly bounce, hit the rim and the backboard before dropping in. Even the home crowd went bananas at the visiting player's jaw-dropping shot. We did, too.

I always wondered what would happen in basketball at the buzzer if the ball left the player's hand before time expired, hit the ground after time expired, and then bounced in.  What's the rule on that?
