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.  While the ball is in the air, A-5 is whistled for a pushing foul against B-5 under the basket.  The ball passes through the basket.

Handle the situation.


Since the try had been released, the ball remains live after the whistle and the goal counts.  A-5 will be charged with a common foul.  If Team B is in the bonus, B-5 will attempt two free throws.  If not, then Team B will receive the ball for a throw-in on the endline.  The thrower may move along the endline as after any score.
