Thoughts on this question.....
 

Team A has the alternating-possession arrow. A1 is in the frontcourt and attempts a two-point try. During the attempt, A3 and B4 are ruled for a double foul in the area near the key by team A’s basket. How is play resumed and is the shot clock reset?

a. The double foul causes the ball to be dead.

b. The shot clock shall be reset if the shot contacts the ring. Team A has an enplane throw-in.

c. Two points shall be awarded to team A if the try is successful. Team B has a non-designated spot endline throw-in

d. Both b and c.

We know 'a' is incorrect on its face.

Both 'b' and 'c' can apply to this situation.

Unless I'm missing something, I think the answer if fairly obvious.

Dead Ball ???
 

"Attempt"? Has the ball been released?

If not, Continuous motion is of significance only when there is a personal or technical foul by B after the trying or tapping motion by A1 is started and before the ball is in flight.

If the ball hasn't been released, does the foul by A3 (teammate of A1) cause the ball to be dead?

6-7: The ball becomes dead, or remains dead, when:
ART. 5 An official’s whistle is blown (see exceptions a and b below).
ART. 7 A foul, other than player-control or team-control, occurs (see
exceptions a, b and c below).
EXCEPTION: The ball does not become dead until the try or tap ends, or
until the airborne shooter returns to the floor, when:
a. Article 5, 6, or 7 occurs while a try or tap for a field goal is in
flight.
c. Article 7 occurs by any opponent of a player who has started a try
or tap for goal (is in the act of shooting) before the foul occurred,
provided time did not expire before the ball was in flight. The trying
motion must be continuous and begins after the ball comes to rest in
the player’s hand(s) on a try or touches the hand(s) on a tap, and is
completed when the ball is clearly in flight. The trying motion may
include arm, foot or body movements used by the player when
throwing the ball at his/her basket.

Has the ball been released? If so, as Raymond stated, "The answer if fairly obvious".

I guess the something I could be missing is whether or not the try was released.

If so, my original reply stands.

If not, then the answer is 'a'.

I first went with answer B, and it was counted wrong. Second time around I went with D, and it was counted correct.

My assumption too, was that the shot attempt was released. With that said, the shot clock would be reset no matter what. Double foul is POI, therefore goes to the AP.

So part of B is correct, that Team A has a throw-in. Part of answer C is correct, that 2 points would be awarded if try was successful. But the second part of answer C is wrong, Team B has a non-designated spot end line throw-in. If A1 released the try or not, with the double foul, Team A would be getting a throw-in with either situation.

Got to love online test/quiz questions....

If there is a double foul after a successful try is released, the POI is the made basket, therefore Team B would get the throw-in.

There’s nothing wrong with the second part of C...as Raymond pointed out....

You are incorrect. Consult the NFHS Case Book 4.19.8 Sit E.

I would say D. This is because that statement includes all correct scenarios. Shot clock would reset because there is no team control, and the designated spot (or lack thereof) on the throw-in depends on whether the try is successful.

The shot clock would reset because the try hit the ring. If it didn't hit the ring and AP arrow pointed towards team A, the shot clock would remain the same.

Double Foul ...
 

4.19.8 SITUATION E: A1 has control of the ball in Team A's frontcourt. Post players A5 and B5 are pushing each other in an attempt to gain a more advantageous position on the block while (a) A1 is dribbling the ball; (b) the ball is in the air on a pass from A1 to A2; or (c) the ball is in the air on an unsuccessful try for goal by A1. An official rules a double personal foul on A5 and B5. RULING: In (a) and (b), Team A had control of the ball when the double foul occurred, and thus play will be resumed at the point of interruption. Team A will have a designated spot throw-in nearest the location where the ball was located when the double foul occurred. In (c), no team has control while a try for goal is in flight, and since the try was unsuccessful, there is no obvious point of interruption. Play will be resumed with an alternating possession throw-in nearest the location where the ball was located when the double foul occurred. Had the try been successful, the point of interruption would have been a throw-in for Team B from anywhere along the end line. (4-36; 7-5-3b)

Incorrect on both elements.

C isn't "awarded" two points....they scored two points. Points are "awarded" only for defensive goal tending or basket interference.

Also, the second part is correct. Since the shot was successful, the POI is a throwin for team B. If the shot were missed, the POI would be indeterminable and you'd go with the arrow and give it to team A.

I stand corrected... thank you!
