Shooting foul at end of period

[crosscountry55]

C. Foul or not, you still have to release the try before time expires. Sure, in theory the clock should stop before the release, but in NFHS, with neither PTS nor replay, there is a human response allowance for the timer to react. That said, foul on an unsuccessful try (assuming the foul was before the expiration of time) results in two (or three) free throws.

If—and this is a big if—somehow an official had definite knowledge of what the precise time was at the whistle, I suppose the official could count the basket, put the correct time back up, and shoot one with lane spaces occupied. Without that definite knowledge, you’d be guessing with respect to putting time back up. Don’t go there (apologies in advance to the 0.3ers out there, but there is no NFHS rules or case support for that). Be comfortable that you knew the release was late, honor the timer allowance, clear the lane, and shoot two.

NCAA w/ monitor = use it to determine all that you need to determine. With monitor, the only time you’d ever shoot throws in this scenario with the lane cleared is if there was a release, followed by time expiring, and then a foul on the airborne shooter.
