@wbztv: A UMass student who was initially denied a $10,000 prize after making a half-court shot in a halftime challenge at a college basketball game will be getting the money after all. The skilled shot maker is Noah Lee, a UMass Amherst senior from Wayland who was attending the women's basketball game Wednesday night. After making the required layup, free throw, 3-pointer, the promo company said his foot was over the line during his half-court shot, forcing a turnover of the big prize. In a statement to WBZ on Friday, UMass said they wanted to make it right, “We weren't satisfied with that outcome and arrived at the decision to provide Noah with both a $10,000 award and a host of other UMass athletics benefits.” Read more about this story at the link in our bio. #fyp #massachusetts #umass #basketball

Alot of people have to understand that this money is payed out by insurance 99% of the time. as odd as it is, it's not the athletics dept making the ruling, it's an insurance company.

he had 30 seconds, and the on court ref called it good. if the ref had called it bad, he still had time on the clock to make more shots. so the insurance should pay because of ter own officiating

People complaining over his foot being over the line have probably never made a half court shot. Your foot being slightly over the line doesn’t matter THAT much in a shot because it’s such a large spa
