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 drives to the basket for a layup and is fouled in the act of shooting. The ball is on the ring when A-5 tips the ball into the basket.
Handle the situation.
A-5’s action constitutes offensive basket interference. No goal can be scored. However, A-2 was fouled in the act of shooting so A-2 will be awarded two free throws. Play will resume off the make or miss of the final free throw.
