First situation team foul count is 4 fouls, after the 2nd free throw is released the defender in the top spot does the hard box out before it hits the rim on the shooter and pushes him/her well beyond the 3 point line..what is the penalty?
Next, the foul count will be 8 fouls and the team is shooting the front end of a one and one and the same thing happens, the defender does the hard box out on the shooter and the ball goes in. I know you report the foul and shoot the 2nd one but what else is done? Thanks in advance

I had a similar situation occur before break. We determined that this is the one instance where you can have a violation followed by a common foul, and penalize both. So in the first scenario, shooter gets another shot, and the foul count goes up by one. In the 2nd scenario, shooter is entitled to a 2nd throw, though this time with the lanes cleared, as there is no opportunity for a rebound on a miss. Then bring the players back and line up for another 1-1 for that same player.
