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-2 is on a breakaway for a layup. B-2 comes up from behind, winds up and contacts A-2 excessively. The layup goes through the basket.
Handle the situation.
This is an intentional foul. Excessive contact can be an intentional foul. When a player winds up and delivers such contact, this should always result in a ruling of an intentional foul. The goal counts and A-2 is awarded two free throws. Team A will be awarded the ball out of bounds at the spot nearest the foul.
