I couldn't find a ruling on the in the bank pool rules and I tried searching but didn't have any luck. I'm sure this was posted before, and I apologize.

When you have 2 ball left on the table and you need them both, but one is a hanger...can you bank one and play position to make the hanger, have the hanger spotted, and continue shooting like you would in one pocket? Or would your turn end, and the incoming player gets to shoot the spot shot?

I meant to bank the ball and make the hanger in the same shot, yes. I was playing banks with a one pocket player, and he attempted this and I asked him why he would do that. He thought he would get to have it spotted and continue his turn because he said that's how it is in one pocket.

If the banked ball didn't go in, but the hanger did, you just shoot the ball you banked. If they both fell in your hole, congratulations, you win. If one fell in your opponents hole it's his. If one fell in your hole, and the other fell in a neutral hole, I think inning is over, ball spots up, opponents shot.

I can't imagine you could ever shoot at a ball during your inning that wasn't on the table at the beginning of it.

Just the way it makes sense to me,,,,,
