I was unable to identify a specific case reference or more specific explanation. Any help would be appreciated.

The inquirer indicated that he had checked with 'other sources' and gotten different responses including award 1 free throw for the foul and that the NCAA and NFHS rules differ.
You are correct. Count the basket and Team A will have the ball out of bounds. Whichever sources said award 1 free throw would only be correct under NBA rules.
