Need help with this one?

I understand the interp for blocking the shot.

There is no penalty for fouling a 3 point shooter if we apply that interp to this.

Ball is gone and you score it if it goes (so ball is not dead)

But no penalty if it doesnt?

4 FTs for a 3-point shot seems like a "penalty" to me.

Only way you can get to the "foul" is if the player was on court the whole time. You can't with a straight face say that a player you just watched come off the bench was an extra participant you didnt catch before resuming play at the last dead ball.

Offended team ought to be happy with the 4 FT's and the ball, assuming nobody retaliates against the player that came off the bench.
