I believe the ruling on this is wrong.
While A1's three-point field-goal attempt is in flight, A3 fouls B1 (B is not in the bonus) near the bottom block area. The three-point field-goal attempt is successful.
Ruling: Score the three-point goal for A1. Team B will be permitted to run the end line on the ensuing throw-in. (5-7-7 Exc (2)).
Ok, now that I've typed this maybe I see where I was mistaken. Do we count the goal because it was not a player control foul? The ball was in flight and the foul was not on an airbourne shooter. The foul was off ball by a member of team A. My original thought was that the ball was dead immediately on the offensive foul so wave off the basket.
There is definitely one mistake with the ruling. There is no 5-7-7 Exc (2). There's not even a 5-7-7. Does anyone know what rule/exception they are refering to?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Randall
