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-1 attempts a three-point try from behind a screen set by A-2.  While A-1 is in the act of shooting, B-2 pushes A-2 aside and a foul is ruled.  The try is successful.  Team A is in the bonus.  

Handle the situation.


Since A-1 was in the act of shooting when B-2 fouled A-2, A-1 is permitted to finish that act of shooting.  Since the try was successful, the goal is counted.  Since Team A is in the bonus, A-2 will be awarded two free throws.  Play will continue as after any ordinary free throw situation.
