    Bogus Trivia Question

    Which basketball term is defined as "a shot which the ball is bounced off the backboard"?

    A) Bucket
    B) Foul Trouble
    C) Brick
    D) Bank Shot (correct answer)

    Whether or not it was a made shot, is obviously relevant to answering the question. But this vital info wasn't made available for whatever reason. So I chose brick, because I pictured Tripe shooting a free throw.

    Has to be bank shot , a brick is where a shot is taken and the ball hits nothing , but agree question can be misleading

    Shrug, basketball definitely isn't something I'm any good at...if I hit the backboard I count that as a win

    Could be worse I suppose; I could be so hard up for pennies that I complain when confused by plain English

    Brick = Ball bounced hard off backboard, with no chance of going in

    Air ball = Ball hits nothing

    but agree question can be misleading

    Brick does not have to hit the backboard. If you shoot a low arching free throw and clang the rim that is a brick.
