Ball Bounces Lands on Top of the Truss

[bkahl]

I know one of the first things many people thought of this year in the first week was "What if the ball lands on the truss". The rules were even updated to give a solution to this problem. Personally, I thought this would NEVER happen. I don't know if it has happened yet this year, but it did this weekend In Finals 3 of Southington, 195 went for a shot, but it went high and bounced back on to the field. It hit right about at the white line then found it's way onto the truss. It took the refs a few seconds (although it seemed like it was much longer from behind the glass) to shake it off, it seemed like the ball just didn't want to come off. The video below is from behind the glass. Although somewhat blocked by the drivers, you can see the ball land on the truss. A better video will be available soon.

Will this ever happen again? We have just a few weeks left to find out.
