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-5 attempts a dunk which hits the back of the ring and bounces high in the air. A-5 sees that the ball is within reach and, while holding onto the ring with one hand, reaches out, grabs the ball and dunks it.
Handle the situation.
The act of holding onto the ring and grabbing the ball violates the rule that prohibits using the ring or backboard to gain an advantage. This is a technical foul. No goal can be scored. Team B will be awarded two free throws and the ball at the division line opposite the table for a designated spot throw-in.
