The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
With time running out in the half, A-1 launches a last second try. The attempt misses. B-5 grabs the rebound as the horn sounds. Just after the horn sounds, B-5 unintentionally swings his elbow hitting A-5 in the face and knocking him to the floor.
Handle the situation.
Although the horn has sounded, the illegal contact above the shoulders is an intentional foul by rule. As such, B-5 is charged with a technical foul. Since the half has ended and the contact occurred during an intermission, the penalty will be imposed to begin the second half. Team A will be awarded two free throws and the ball at the division line opposite the table. The alternating possession arrow will not be switched.
