The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A-1 is attempting a throw-in from the endline in backcourt. B-1 deflects the throw-in pass. A-1 pushes B-1 attempting to recover the ball and is whistled for a common foul. It is the 10th team foul of the half for Team A.
Handle the situation.
Although the ball is loose, by rule (A team-control foul is a common foul committed…by a member of the throw-in team from the start of the throw-in until player control is obtained inbounds) the common foul by A-1 is a team control foul. No free throws will be attempted. Team B will be awarded the ball for a designated spot throw-in nearest to where the foul occurred. (References: Rule 4-19-7, 10 Penalties 1b)
