RULING: The basket interference causes the ball to become dead immediately. Team A is awarded two points for B1’s basket interference, Team B shall have a throw in from anywhere along the end line. B1’s foul is ignored unless deemed unsporting or flagrant. (9-11; 6-7-9)
I just checked the 2001-02 NFHS Rules Book and confirmed that 4-1-1,2 (Airborne Shooter) and 4-19-1 (Personal Foul) are exactly as they are today in the 2008-09 book.
Unfortunately, the NFHS got this one wrong as the foul is clearly committed against an airborne shooter.

Pardon my ignorance. What's wrong with it?
