Can the endline still be run?

7.5.7 SITUATION D: Team A scores a field goal. B1 picks up the ball and steps out of bounds at the end line to prepare for a throw-in. Before the throw-in is completed, A2 is called for an intentional (or flagrant) foul on B3 near the end line. RULING: B3 would shoot the two free throws for the intentional (or flagrant) foul with the lane cleared. Team B will be permitted to run the end line on the ensuing throw-in. (7-5-11)


Could it be any clearer that the NFHS purposely chose to take away the running privilege on noncommon fouls?

Nevada,

Wow. Two excellent, well thought out and communicated posts. You have obviously put some time and effort into this subject. I respect your opinion.

I do have somewhat of a rebuttal, though, regarding the history of the rule. The issue of Double Fouls did not apply to this situation in the past because on Double Fouls we used AP. So the throw-in was a spot throw-in by the AP team. No need to include Double Fouls in 7.5.7; it simply didn't apply

Now that we are using POI for Double Fouls, it is clear to me what that POI is in this situation, and that is running the baseline on the throw-in. I beleive NFHS will modify 7.5.7 next year to catch what they didn't clarify this year.

Thanks for your historical input. I love this forum.
