The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A-1 is awarded a bonus free throw situation. On the second free throw, A-2 commits a common foul by pushing B-2 into the lane before the free throw is released. The ball passes through the basket.
Handle the situation.
Since A-2 is part of the offense and the free throw has not been released, the ball becomes dead immediately. No goal is possible. Since A-2’s foul is a common foul, A-2 is guilty of a team control foul.
A-1 will be awarded his second free throw with no players lined up along the lane. Team B will be awarded the ball for a throw-in along the end line. If the second free throw was successful, Team B will have the right to move along the end line. If not, then the throw-in will be a designated spot throw-in at the spot nearest A-2’s foul.
