The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
Dribbler A-1 is fouled by B-1. It is Team B’s seventh team foul of the half. However, the scoreboard shows six team fouls and the scorer does not notify the officials about the seventh team foul.
Team A attempts a throw-in which is intercepted by B-3. B-3 passes to B-1 who commits a player control foul. After the foul is reported, the scorer notifies the officials about the missed one-and-one opportunity.
Handle the situation.
Since the player control foul is the first dead ball since the failure to award the bonus free throw situation, the error can be corrected. This is a point-of-interruption play since there has been a change of possession since the error occurred. That change of possession occurred when B-3 intercepted the throw-in pass.
A-1 will be awarded the bonus situation with no players lined up along the lane. Team A will be awarded the ball for a designated spot throw-in at the spot nearest to where the player control foul occurred.
