Today in an NBA game, Lebron James was driving the lane. Detroit's Elden Campbell was shielded from James by a Cleveland teammate. Campbell pushed the teammate into James, causing contact on the shot attempt. Official called a foul on Campbell and sent James to the line for two shots.
In a high school game, I would most likely give Campbell an intentional foul on the teammate, killing the play. Then give the teammate two shots, and give Cleveland back the ball.

Under NFHS rules, why would you kill the play on an intentional foul that occurs during an attempted shot? The foul doesn't make the ball dead even though it's committed on the shooter's teammate-- as long as the shooter has begun the act of shooting. If it goes, you count it and then give the shooter's fouled teammate 2 FT's and the ball OOB at the closest spot for a throw-in.
