The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.

During the fourth quarter, an intentional personal foul is ruled against B-4 for fouling A-1 near the bench in frontcourt.   

Handle the situation.


A-1 will be awarded two free throws with no players lined up along the lane.  Team A will be awarded a designated spot throw-in to resume play.  That throw-in will be from one the four “magic” spots in frontcourt.  In this case that will be the 28-foot mark on the sideline which, of course, is the end of the coaching box.  Rule 8-5-3 in the Rules Book should be ignored as the NFHS has issued a clarification on this specific situation.
