What type of foul, if any?

[A Pennsylvania Coach]

Ball has passed through the hoop on a made try, but has not yet been picked up by the opposing team to take OOB to throw-in. There is a push--not enough for an intentional or a flagrant. The clock is running. Is the ball dead or alive? What can/do you call?

Ball is live, call the foul.
Who is the foul against?
If Team A scored and foul is against Team A, give the ball to B for the throw-in on the baseline (B still retains right to run the baseline). If foul is against Team B, give the ball back to Team A for the spot throw-in.

Basically, when the ball goes through the basket, the ball is dead until the team that is entitled for the throw-in picks up the ball. At that time the ball is live. If any contact occuurs from the time between the bucket being scored and the player picking up the ball to throw the ball in, the contact is ignored unless the contact is intentional or flagrant which would be technical foul (intentional and/or flagrant techinical foul).

If the official did not think it warrented a technical foul, then talking to the players sometimes helps.

Oops sorry. I read too fast and overlooked it hadn't been picked up yet.

What rule makes the ball dead during this time?

Uh, Rule 6, "Live Ball and Dead Ball"?
See 6.7.1.

Also 6.1.2b for when the ball becomes live again.

Right, but he didn't ask about that.
