The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
Team A has the ball for a throw-in on the end line in front court. Team B is in the bonus. A-1 attempts to pass the ball to A-2 above the top of the key. A-2 and B-2 jump for the ball and deflect the ball into Team A’s backcourt. As A-2 and B-2 scramble for the ball, A-2 is whistled for a common foul against B-2.
Handle the situation.
Although the common foul occurred after the throw-in had ended, neither team had gained control of the ball. Since no player had gained control of the ball from the start of the throw-in, this foul is a team control foul and no free throws will be attempted.

Have you seen an unusual play? Let all officials benefit from it by sending it to Play of the Day
This Play makes you think and makes sense. Wonder how many times this play is called
wrong.
Keep up the good work with the play of the day. I use a lot of those plays during my basketball clinics in Beaufort, SC.
