The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
B-5 gets faked out and jumps early in an attempt to block a shot by A-5. B-5 grabs the ring to protect himself and then blocks the try by A-5.
Handle the situation.
There is no technical foul for B-5 grabbing the ring to protect himself. However, when B-5 then held on to block the try by A-5, B-5 is guilty of using the ring to gain an advantage. A technical foul should be ruled against B-5.
Team A will be awarded two free throws and will be awarded the ball at the division line opposite the table for a designated spot throw-in.
