The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
A1 runs down the lane and jumps up to get a rebound. His momentum takes him into his own teammate A2. A2 is being boxed out by B1. The contact by A1 against A2 knocks B1 out of bounds. The official rules a foul on A1. Was the official correct?
The official was NOT correct. While A1 may have caused A2 to displace B1 out of bounds, the physical contact was between A2 and B1. The foul should have been charged to A2. (References: Rule 10.7.1)
