What do you do when this happens...
Sounds like a, "don't overthink it, this would never actually happen" scenario, but it actually did happen this weekend. Middle school game, A1 shoots jump shot from the corner. After he has completely landed, B1 runs up to him and gives him a hard shove with his body to gain position for potential rebound (clearly a foul, but nothing that warranted intentional foul). As soon as I whistled the foul, A1's try for goal became lodged in between rim and background. The foul and the lodging happened near to simultaneously, if not simultaneous then so close together that there's no way to tell what happened first. My partner and I decided to report the foul, and then give possession based on alternating arrow. Would anyone do anything differently?
