The National Basketball Association today
disallowed a missed field goal attempt and ensuing rebound which gave
Atlanta Hawk guard Bob Sura a statistical "triple-double" in the Hawks'
129-107 victory over the New Jersey Nets on April 12.
In the closing seconds of that game, Sura intentionally missed a
layup and grabbed the rebound.
The NBA rule book states that "A field goal attempt is a player's
attempt to shoot the ball into the basket for a field goal."
The league ruled that Sura did not attempt a field goal, and
therefore there was no rebound.
