The official said no, because it was a player control foul. Hypothetically reversing the foul - If A2's screen is not legal and he commits the foul, Does B1 shoot a one-and-one if it is A's 8th team foul?

A has the ball on the baseline for a throw-in. As the thrower starts the throw-in, he realizes the defense will intercept the pass, so he holds onto the ball. Him momentum carries him forward and he steps on (not over) the line. Is this a violation? The official said yes.

Thanks!

Player Control Foul: A common foul committed by a player while in control of the ball.

Team Control Foul: A foul committed by a player whose team has control.

A2 should have shot free throw/s. There was no Player Control Foul. For crying out loud, the contact didn't even involve the player in control.

In the case where A2 commits an illegal screen, that is a clear case of a Team Control Foul, with no free throws awarded.

No violation for the thrower to touch the line, in NFHS rules. They are not yet touching the inbounds area.

If it was the same official missing both of these, I wonder what else happened that game. I understand differences in judgement, but not poor rules knowledge.
