Things to consider: Did you follow the player(s) action up until this incident? Was there previous conflict between the players involved? How has the flow of the game been to this point?

I would probably lean toward a common foul, unless I felt there was "bad blood" then I would escalate it to a Flagrant Foul.
If the ball was not at the disposal of the inbounding team
at the time of the contact,the ball is dead and you can't have a common foul.


Slow down, read the original post... No where does WinterWillie indicate that the ball is dead or live. You are making an assumption (as I did, in the timing of the "celebration"). The ball is dead (as it would be after the made basket; NFHS 6-7-1, until it is at the inbounder's disposal; NFHS 6-2-1c) then it is obvious that a common foul is not applicible.


Then again, after I re-read the original post. No comment was made to indicate that contact was made. It could be a total "flop" and the oppenent could be assessed a Technical Foul for an unsporting act (NFHS 4-19-13) or it could be a "no call."

This is why I included the header.. Had to be there...
