Case Book 4.19.3 Sit E
 

Is this just a badly worded case book play, or are the fouls different for the offense and defense in this situation?

*4.19.3 SITUATION E:

A1 is dribbling in the frontcourt. A3 and B4 are in the free-throw lane. (a) A3 throws B4 to the floor; (b) B4 throws A3 to the floor.

RULING: In (a), illegal and in (b), intentional foul due to excessive contact while the ball is live. (4-19-3d)

Wow, the case book actually says that? :eek:

Yep.

I just laughed and crossed it out when I came across it in my review.

That long-standing error would be "Low Hanging Fruit" for the NFHS to pick, it would seem. Been there for years. And years.

That's an intentional foul any day of the week.

Not A Common Foul ...
 

… and not a team control foul because an intentional foul is not a common foul and a team control foul must be a common foul.

Indeed. That is why we shoot free throws on intentional fouls committed by the offense, because intentional fouls carry their own penalty.
