I'm guessing it's true because of the word MAY

You do need to know where the foul occurred and I agree it is true...because of the MAY. Another bad question imo.

True

False

The rule says that after a made basket a team may run the baseline for the throw-in. Also, if a violation or foul happen near the baseline, the team maintains the ability to run the baseline. I am wanting to apply this logic to the question above but it doesn't state where the intentional foul occurred.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks for the assistance,

The answer is currently false for NFHS rules. This was changed about five years ago without any comment or rationale given. I recall first seeing it in the annual online interps, then it made its way to the case book.

The NFHS accomplished this change by inserting the word common in 7-5-7.

I don't like the "new" ruling. I prefer that the offended team didn't lose any privileges due to illegal actions of the opponent.

I wonder what the logic was for adding the term "Common" and changing the rule? However, if I were a coach I would give running the end line everyday for an opportunity to shoot two with the lane cleared.

The logic was that team B received 2 FTs as part of the penalty for the IF and that plus possession was enough. They didn't need the right to run too. Plus, it is no longer after a made basket. It is after FTs were taken on the other end.
