Shot is taken by player 1 team A and ball is in the air. team B player 2 commits foul by pushing player 2 team A in the back while the ball is in the air. The shot is made. What is the result of this play?


Ruling at the time was basket counts and team A gets to inbound ball.


I dont think corrrect let me know


thank you.

If team A is in the bonus, the basket counts and A2 will shoot 1/1 or 2 free throws, depending on the number of fouls team B has.

If team A is not in the bonus, the basket counts and team A gets the ball at the closest spot to the foul for a throw-in.

I think correct.

Welcome to the forum.

I saw a similar play recently . . . basket counted and A2 was awarded 1 free throw. I'm pretty sure I was watching NCAA at the time but I'm not 100% nor am I in a position to vouch for correctness of ruling.

I think that the NBA might handle it that way, I'm not sure, nor do I care about the NBA.

However, that is certainly NOT the correct method for NCAA or NFHS competition. For those levels of basketball, JR gave the correct way in his post above.

JR and Nevada got this one -
NCAA and NFHS the foul is a seperate act from the shot and has to be enforced as such - Since the shooter wasn't fouled - you either have bonus shots or ball out of bounds nearest spot -

NBA it must've been. Thanks.

NBA, I wish I could quit you.

You're right the NBA does handle it that way. They have a rule that says if the offensive team is fouled and the basket counts, you can't award the offensive team the ball out of bounds, you give the offended player one free throw.

You could try the patch. :)

Or do what I do, only watch an NBA game if given FREE tickets.
