Some people find it easier to go on principles rather than enumerated lists of possibilities....I do....and it is a lot easier to learn basic principles than to memorize a million variations of case plays. Yet, some people (not you) insist on a case play for every possibility.

Basic principles...
  • the ball remains live until the try ends (made or missed) when a foul other than player control foul occurs after the release (or a defensive foul occurs after the shooting motion begins).
  • contact fouls during a live ball are personal fouls.
  • contact fouls during a dead ball are (generally) technical fouls.
  • a double foul happens at approximately the same time
  • double fouls effectively offset (but are still recorded as if they were individual fouls).


That is all you need to know to resolve all of the above scenarios.
