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 drives to the basket for a layup and is intentionally fouled by B-1 while attempting the shot.  The ball goes through the basket.

Handle the situation.


The goal counts.  Since this was an intentional foul, A-1 will be awarded two free throws even though the goal was good.  No players will line up along the lane.  Team A will be awarded the ball for a designated spot throw-in on the endline.  The throw-in spot will be one of the two “magic” spots on the endline since the throw-in is in Team A’s frontcourt.
