lets say this is the situation.
team A is down by 3 with 2 sec. left in regulation. A throws the ball into the corner to A2 who attempts a 3 point shot. a player from team B runs off the bench(behind where A2 cannot see him) onto the court and cleanly blocks the shot after the horn sounds to end regulation.
1. what is a fair and just penalty for this situation?
2. is this situation directly covered by fed. or nc2a rules or case book plays?

first of all i believe(totally) this play is not specifically covered by the rule book.
secondly i believe the offense should be compensated in a way to (at the least) tie the game in this specific situation.
this is what i would do: first i would score the basket, then assess a technical foul to the player coming off the bench and give the offense 2 free throws to win by hitting one or going to OT by missing both. the defense should not be allowed to win the game by circumventing the rules and making a travesty of the game. i would penalize this situation the same in both highschool and nc2a.
