The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A1 drives toward the basket and jumps to release a try for goal. After releasing the ball, airborne A1 charges into B1 who had a legal guarding position. After this, while the ball is on the ring, B5 jumps up and touches the ball.
Handle the situation.
A1 is guilty of a player control foul. Because this is a player control foul, the ball becomes dead immediately. Therefore, B5’s touching of the ball while it is on the ring is ignored since the ball is dead.

Very Interesting Play. Correct. We could hear some complaints for correctly calling
this Play and we have to know that the ball is dead on the Player Control Foul.
Thanks.
