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 is fouled while dribbling the ball. It is Team B’s 7th team foul of the half. The officials mistakenly award the ball to Team A out of bounds. A1 attempts a try that is rebounded by Team B. At this point the officials are notified of the missed bonus free throw situation.
Handle the situation.
Since there has been only one live ball since the clock started, this error is correctable. Since there has been a change of possession, A1 will be awarded bonus free throw(s) with no players lined up along the lane. After the free throws are completed, Team B will be awarded the ball for a designated spot throw-in at the spot nearest to where the ball was when the game was interrupted to correct the error of not awarding bonus free throw(s).
