End lf game, break away for big guy for slam dunk. One person to beat who is not going to let him do it.
A1 is going in for a fast break, B1 fouls to keep A1 from slamming it in. Regular play. On the way out of the gym I commented that A1 should have bounced it off of his own backboard and slammed it in. My Co said it would have been illegal (double dribble). He sighted the rule of passing off of an opponent's backboard and the same should apply if he was not attempting a shot. We both looked in the rule book (NHSF), but could not find a case or rule to cover this. |

It may be against NHSF rules, but it is not against NFHS rules. :D

The rule book specifically differentiates throwing the ball off your own backboard versus throwing it off the opponent's. Your partner was wrong. It would not be a double or illegal dribble.
|
Just curious, did you charge B1 with an intentional foul? From your description it seems to fit the definition.....

It wasn't intentional
The defender went up strong after the shot. There was no intentional foul to call. My observation to bounce it off of the backboard would have been to disrupt the defensive timing and make a slam possible.

It doesn't have to be "intentional" to be intentional. Excessive contact can be an intentional foul even if B1 meant no harm and got a lot of ball. That's what Tim meant. Z |

A1 throws the ball up against the backboard, B1 fouls A1 - Common foul not shooting foul, ball is dead, A1 dunks the ball - Could be a T on A1. I fail to see how this could be an advantage... |

Most players will throw the ball up, then jump to dunk. As soon as they've released the ball and they are on the floor they are no longer a shooter and the foul is a common foul. |
