Basket good in my opinion
The rules fundamentals from 97-98 state:
(3) A goal is made when a live ball enters the basket from above and remains in or passes through unless canceled by a throw-in violation or a player-control foul.
From the 1999-2000 rules:
4-19-6: A player-control foul is a common foul committed by a player while he or she is in control of the ball or by an airborne shooter.
4-19-4: A common foul is a personal foul which is neither flagrant nor intentional . . .
If you have a flagrant/intentional foul (we can debate all day about what this foul should be), you cannot have a common foul. Without a common foul, you cannot have a PC foul. Without a PC foul, you have a goal.
Is this how things should be? No - a player making an intentional/flagrant foul should not earn points. However, the rules set it up this way.
