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 drives in for a layup. The ball hits the backboard and is on its way down, above the level of the ring, outside the cylinder, with a chance to go in, when B-5 blocks the ball.
Handle the situation.
This is a goaltending violation by the defense. Team A should be awarded two points. Team B will be awarded the ball out of bounds on the end line with the ability to move along the end line as after any score.
