3. The fouled team should get the ball for a throw-in. With any luck, they'll head the proper direction.
And don't forget that even if the ball goes in, it's only two points. No 3 pointers in the wrong basket.

I gotta tell you that I thought my buddy was making it all up to pull my leg - he's a D-I official - but he was completely serious.
