Maccabi ended up winning the game 70-66 in regulation. Due to Darüşşafaka having a point differential of −36 (where they conceded 36 more points than they scored) and Maccabi having a point differential of −42, Maccabi was knocked out (they both finished with identical 4-6 records). As for the Real Madrid situation, even though they lost the first game against Varese 80-82, they won the second game 82-63, meaning they won the two-legged aggregate 163-144.

My favorite weird rule: In baseball, detaching a piece of equipment (your glove) and throwing it and having it hit a foul ball results in awarding the batter a triple. It used to award the batter ba home run.

[@howardbaxter2514]

Honestly, the change really doesn't make a difference. If you are in a position to stop a home run by hitting it with your glove, then the runner is likely already around first. Meanwhile, if you throw your glove at a ball where the runner wasn't last first, the hit wasn't going to be a home run anyways. I honestly cannot think of any situation where it would be beneficial to hit the ball out of mid air.

Everyone talking down on Point Differential Rule, but that rule is the only reason the USA won the Gold Medal in the 1955 Pan American games. Brazil, the USA and Argentina had beaten all other teams, but they beaten each other when they played each other. USA beat Brazil, Brazil beat Argentina and Argentina beat USA. Because of this, all three teams had the same win-loss ration at the end of the tournament so the winner of the gold medal was decided by point differential, and the team with the most points in favor was USA, with Argentina second (winning Silver) and Brazil third (winning Bronze).

Something similar happened in a soccer game. Barbados vs Grenada in the group stage of the 1994 Caribbean Cup. Barbados needed to win by 2 goals over Grenada to qualify for the finals on goal differential over Grenada, but with 7 minutes remaining, Barbados led by 2-1. Barbados scored an own goal to tie the game at 2-2 in order to bring the game into sudden death extra time. Grenada, realizing that they would qualify for the finals over Barbados regardless of whether they won or lost (by no more than one goal), then tried to score in both goals while Barbados defended both goals. At the end of regulation the game was tied, so they went into extra time where according to the tournament rules, the first goal scored counts for 2 and automatically ends the game. Barbados scored, sending them into the finals.

Except soccer operates on a completely different system. In soccer, there is no real winner; they only play a certain amount of regular season games that can actually end with ties and then they arbitrarily just decide who the "best team" is. In basketball, there's a playoff with best-of series to determine the real winner so point differential has no place in the sport.

[@64cgfan]

jyashin It was a playoff tournament

[@jyashin]

Adam Incorrect. You cannot advance in soccer playoffs except with a win. You mean to say the Cup was playoff format, but you need to qualify via points (a la World Cup). Nevertheless the point format exists because non-international competitions have no playoff, and those consist of the majority of soccer games.

It’s easier to fake an accidental tip-in on the wrong basket off of a purposefully missed free throw. The team down 1 could have fouled, and then acted like they were trying to get the rebound and “accidentally” tip the ball in, try to get it back and make a three. Then try to win by 11 in OT

So, just for information, because I saw many comments misunderstanding the system: the point differential is only the first tie-breaker for teams with the same W/L - record after the regular season (just like the NBA has tie-breakers for playoff seedings). It has nothing to do with being like soccer (note: many European Basketball fans don't particularly like soccer, because it chokes all other sports in terms of tv-rights and such things - that and soccer players being overpaid crybabies...). Anyway: ECA has since changed the rules, such that games going to overtime count as net +- 0 pt-dif for tie-breakers.

This is so silly. If you're going to use score differential as a tie breaker, at least make it regulation time only first, so there's less motivation to do this kind of thing. You can still add the extra/over time differential as another tiebreaker, but it's less likely to matter.

[@NotCommanderShepard]

I was at this game. At the last inbound Maccabi was ahead by 2 points if I remember correctly. Maccabi was inbounding and the inbounder nodded towards their own basket, suggesting to Jordan Farmar that he should just run back and score on their own basket. Farmar looked at him like "dude....enough, this is BS". This certainly was the most boring yet interesting game of basketball I've been to.

[@stephenj9470]

I think overtime in all sports should count as +/-0 point differential. If you don't do that (or make it automatically +/-1), then you will always have these kinds of issues. After all, after regulation, you were up 0 points. A football team that wins by 5 did better than one that won by 7 in overtime.

Idea for your next video: the strangest soccer match ever - Grenada vs Barbados, 1994 Caribbean Cup Two unusual rules were added to this tournament: 1. Every match had to have a winner, even group stage matches. If no team won in 90 minutes it would go to extra time and penalties. 2. The Golden Goal rule applied (if the match went to extra time, the first team to score would win immediately), BUT extra time goals counted for 2. Barbados needed to beat Grenada by 2 goals to advance, otherwise Grenada would advance. The match started with Barbados going 2 goals up, but then Grenada pulled one back. With only a few minutes left on the clock, the Barbados players realised they would get more time to keep playing if they took the game to extra time, and then if they got a Golden Goal, they would go through. They scored an own goal. Now Grenada needed to score a goal at either end before the 90 minutes were up to advance, since either a 1 goal win or loss would take them through. The last few minutes of the match Grenada were attacking both goals, while Barbados were defending both goals. In the end the Barbados plan worked: after hanging on to tie the game, they got their Golden Goal, advancing to the next round.

[@vadoom3353]

I feel like the point differential is the root of all of these problems lmao

[@CSLucasEpic]

It has pros and cons, just like every other rule. Having point diferantial rule means that, even if the game is a blowout, the losing team still tries hard to score point to make the point diferential as little as possible, so the starters still play the whole game, and garbage time does not exists. That's a Pros, the Cons would be a situation like the one you see in this video. Not having point diferential rule means that there is such a thing as garbage time and starters getting benched (which is something a lot of sports media seem to complain about NBA coaches not putting their starters so the fans can watch them when the game is meaningless and all that). But, on the other side, you will never see a situation like this in an NBA playoff. So yeah, pros and cons.

This channel has made me love basketball

[@ortegao1020]

In soccer when u score an own goal it’s called an auto goal lol

[@yoitsyaboy3324]

You missed the chance to say “auto baguettes” Today has not been a great day

[@ttmilbr]

Hah, silly Euro-ball. 2003 Cav Ricky Davis tried to inbound and give himself a rebound for a triple-double. Traded soon after.

[@TheDarkphx]

Mr. James Naismith would be rolling his ankles right now if that were possible, pondering how something so simple like a ball in a basket would ever become so illogical and difficult!?!

[@MaenMarashdeh]

Tell that to J.R Henny

[@MrGallagher]

There is a RadioLab discussing a similar instance in the 2012 Olympics Women's Badminton tournament, wherein it turned out that it was advantageous to both teams to throw the match. Regardless of the outcome of the match, each team was going on to the next round; however the loser would play a much easier team with lower stats than the team that the winner would play. The result was that both teams were intentionally trying to throw the match and it became a surreal experience watching both sides trying to lose and to see which side would crack first and actually score.

[@prohighlightsextra7549]

I remember that game, very sad...

[@JamesMeyer2]

I want to see the end of this video play out in an NBA game or even a Division 1 college game sometime.

[@wyattcusick5824]

I would foul then when the team tries to brick you “accidentally” knock it in

[@theena]

I am surprised Ryan hasn't passed out or been hospitalized digging some of these stories out. I would die laughing.

[@daviddechamplain5718]

Which is why you don't use point or goal differential as a tiebreaker. EDIT:Also make any OT win count as a 1 point win.

[@StaySqueezy12]

@Cristofer Wolz-Romberger I dont think it works well in basketball because of the amount of points in a game.

[@jedirevan5892]

For how to score on your own basket I recommend having all ten players under one basket getting the rebounds and making a shot.

[@xlaythe]

I score on myself all the time.

[@Maxto2xD]

I don't know if someone already said this but anyways: Omer Asik, goes up for a defensive rebound and he scores an own basket. you can search it on yt

[@pepper696867]

yes,but the turkish team did not even bother shooting,so...

[@guntherultraboltnovacrunch5248]

I learned a lot from this. I learned that the Euro league is a joke.

[@cordesbatchelder8036]

Here’s an idea: Have yourself on one side of your net from a long range two pointer or three pointer distance, and a teammate on the other side of the net from a close/middle two pointer distance. Then pretend like your passing to your teammate when really your just shooting it in your own hoop. Maybe get some opponents to try to block out you and your teammate to have an excuse of throwing it high in the air instead of a chest level pass or a bounce pass.

[@rockyblam8452]

Why didn’t they just airball all their free throws? Or is there some dumb rule about not being able to do that too?

[@StaySqueezy12]

You have to hit the rim

[@folumb]

The scenario was just terrible. The rules should be changed if they ever create a situation in which giving your best effort to win is not a winning strategy. Not even competition

[@mhicks31]

I'm sure the fans at these types of games are really enjoying watching players, intentionally foul, miss free throws on purpose, and players just standing around.

[@slayjah2]

this point differential crap ruins the game, the nba's system is better

[@aleksandarspasic6067]

slayjah NBA has way more games to determine it

[@jyashin]

Then play more games. 10 games a season? High school teams play more than that amount per year. With only 10 games a season there is NO reason to even use point differential. Just play a head-to-head tiebreaker.

[@oliver5381]

king of patriotism right here

[@carloschaves2437]

jyashin they have domestic leagues and cups. Not to mention not every club in Europe is a millionaire to be travelling back and forth.

[@dannynavarro8741]

jyashin You know how champions league works? Euroleague is just like UCL but for basketball, every team plays domestic league and the best ones play on the euroleague, there is a minor international cup called eurocup that is somewhat of an equivalent to the UEFA Europa League where the teams that are good but not good enough to play on the euroleague play, 10 games are just for the groups stage too though, hope you learned something

[@blaivilanovamacias5925]

u can go for a rebound and "unintentionally" put that ball in. It happens a lot in these days.
