Since the A5 tap had started before the foul, the foul by B1 does not make the ball dead. A5 scores. A1 was in the act of shooting when fouled since he was still an airborne shooter. Score the basket and give A1 two free throws.
Now, I can't imagine this happenning, but what is wrong with that logic.  |
Nothing is wrong with that. I think that it is completely correct. A case of strange, but true.
However, notice that what you wrote in this post and I have highlighted in
blue. Is the exact opposite of what you wrote before and to which I responded with a correction. Your statement in back in post #51 was indeed wrong. 
The premise of my earlier post was just fine. A tap for goal started with a touch does not become dead due to a foul by an opponent and to score the ball does NOT have to have left the tapper's hand at the time of the foul. You were mistaken about that point.
PS One will probably be awarding Team A FOUR FTs if this happens and is called correctly.
