However, given the GDC's answer, I am not sure how this will actually be implemented. Does the sensor need to be triggered during the hybrid period? Because a reasonably astute observer would say that there are instances where the ball will certainly be in the hoop, but not yet fed to the counter when hybrid expires. Or is there a delay...say a second or two...programmed in?

This was exactly my fear, which lead me to believe refs may have to "call" whether or not it was a scored basket or not, furthermore, I did hear of balls lodging themselves in the return chutes, I don't know if that is a problem or concern anymore but that could also cause a close call if the ball needed to pass by the sensor to be counted as a score in hybrid. Now that I've scanned over the field drawings again, I think it may be time for another Q & A question.
