Nope… they don’t count… these guys always shoot them just a little late. I admire the guys that put them up on the 3-5% chance they fall. Just don’t have them count as a fg attempt unless the fall… make basketball fun again. #MBFA
It’d actually be really easy to count any shot beyond half court as a “heave” and placed in another column. That way you don’t have to be arbitrary about what constitutes a heave. But it’d be funny when guys clearly have space but end up staying behind the line.
Many web sites have this breakout available. It just isn't an official stat. Would be cool if it were. I would also like to see anything shot with under 2 seconds left on any clock as it's own thing. 2 seconds on the shot clock, end of quarters, end of game. Much higher pressure situations. We penalize the guy that ends up with the hot potato.
I have literally been saying this for centuries.
