I'm not too sure whether the inbounder's baskets count towards the score, and whether it is possible to get the basket over the wall is throwing underhand. Although, being able to bounce the basketballs over the bump does save quite a lot of time to maximize scoring.

To clarify, I would like to also add that
1. Our inbounder is extremely well-versed in the rules, and is probably the best rules person on our team.
2. The points do count.
3. You cannot make those shots during regular teleop, and you'll need something for the shooters to do with the ball seeing that they're throwing into enemy territory.
4. I'm not saying that we've abandoned training, I just believe that it will not have as big of an impact other than morale (making the buzzer beater) or penalties from inexperience, which is rather easy to counter on our side of things.
