Player A drives towards the basket and passes the ball to a teammate. After passing we have a crash with the defender in the arc. Does this result in an automatic block because of the arc rule or is the arc non-existent because it was a crash after a pass which would be a pushing foul, not a player control.
Rule 4, Section 35. Guarding

Art. 7. A secondary defender cannot establish initial legal guarding position in the Restricted Area for the purposes of drawing a player control foul/charge on a player who is in control of the ball (i.e., dribbling or shooting) or who has released the ball for a pass or try for goal. When illegal contact occurs within this Restricted Area, such contact shall be called a blocking foul, unless the contact is flagrant. (Exception: When the offensive player leads with a foot or unnatural extended knee or wards off with the arm.)

This restriction shall not prohibit a defender, located within the restricted area, from attempting to block a shot.

A kid who is going to attempt free throws is discovered to be bleeding before the free throws are attempted. He is directed to leave and has 20 seconds to remedy the problem or a substitute/TO must be made. Does the opposing coach get to choose one of the remaining 4 players or is it the substitute who attempts the free throws?

Thank you
A.R. 68. A1 is fouled and his or her try for goal is unsuccessful. During the try, A3 is injured or is bleeding, has blood on his or her body, or his or her uniform is saturated with blood and he or she cannot continue to play.

RULING: The required substitute shall be permitted to enter the game before the first try of the multiple free throws. In addition, all substitutes who had legally reported to the official scorer before the player who had to be replaced may enter the game. A bleeding player, a player with blood on the body, or a player wearing a uniform saturated with blood has 20 seconds to resolve the issue. If the issue cannot be resolved in 20 seconds, that player is required to be replaced unless that player’s coach requests and is granted a timeout. When a substitute is required, all substitutes who had legally reported to the official scorer before the player who had to be replaced may enter the game. (Rule 3-4.3.a and .c)
