Although I've been a coach for the last 18 years, I'm in my first year of officiating. A veteran official posed this question to me at our meeting the other night. What's your call if A1 has released the ball for a try, but before the ball goes in the basket:
1.) B1 fouls A2 battling for rebound position 2.) A2 fouls B1 battling for rebound position I say the basket is good in both instances with A getting the ball out of bounds nearest the foul in situation 1 and B getting it out of bounds in situation 2. Our veteran official agreed with my decision in the first situation, but disagreed in situation number 2. He contended that the foul by the offense in situation 2 made the ball dead immediately and wipes out the basket. I have never seen this situation called in my 18 years as a coach. The rule book (exception 6-7-7) says that a foul (other than player control) does not cause the ball to become dead until the try or tap ends. Help, and thanks.

You are correct, basket counts in both situations, with ball given to A in first case and B in second case.
Only player control foul causes to become dead even after going in the basket. There is one exception to this rule, see if you can find it in your case book, you have it quite often, but nobody calls it for fear of being killed by both coaches (hint).

quote: Thanks for helping out this old rookie with my question. I'm a little unsure of what you are asking regarding an exception to "this rule." You are going to have to spell it out for me. Thanks.

quote: It is a double foul - happens simoultaneously. Ref 1 calls Block - Ref 2 calls charge at exactly the same time. Since it is a double foul, now the Player control foul becomes merely a push by the offense, and a block by the defense. Basket counts, ball did not become dead, and possesion goes to the arrow. It is in the case book, but beware, if you call it, you will have to explain it to both the coaches and your partner or partners. That is where your life gets in danger. 99.9999% of the time,for good game management and rightly so, one official will give up his call. Good Luck. If you can not find in the case book (Double Fouls) let me know.

Pirate,
There used to be another exception and that was if an offensive player swung his elbows during a shot, the ball became immediately dead. But that was changed a few years ago (3-5)?
