Intentional Foul ...
Got our IAABO Inside The Lines email today with this quiz question.
After Team B scores, B-3 intentionally fouls A-3 during Team A’s end-line throw-in. A-3 is awarded two free throws, and Team A gets a designated-spot throw-in, even if it’s on the end line.
True or False?
Simple question.
I'm certain that, in a real game, I would have awarded a run the endline throwin.
I got it wrong, dead wrong, no tricky wording, no way to blame the NFHS for ambiguities, just dead wrong.
Answer: True. This differs from a common foul where Team A retains the right to move along the end line.
Basketball rules are difficult.
And I don't believe that I can blame this one on forty-five years of rule changes confusing me, as I often do.
Basketball rules are difficult.
