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, who is on a breakaway, is pushed in the back by B-1 as she releases the ball on a lay-up. The ball goes through the basket. The official rules an intentional foul. What is the correct procedure?
The goal is good. Despite the successful goal, A-1 is awarded two free throws since this is the penalty for an intentional foul. No players will line up for the free throws. Since the foul was a personal foul, the ball will be awarded to Team A for a designated spot throw-in on the endline nearest to where the foul occurred.
