Case Play:

A.R. 236. The ball is at the disposal of A1 for a free throw and as they attempt
the try, (1) B1 or (2) bench personnel B6 disconcerts A1. The try is unsuccessful.
RULING: In (1) and (2), the officials shall rule disconcertion and
award A1 a substitute free throw.
(Rules 8-5.1.f, 9-1.1.f and 9-1 Penalty d.3)

It would be nice if the NFHS gave us such a caseplay.
