Most free throws?

[Rock Chalk]

What is the largest amount of free throws you can award any 1 player on any 1 play?

- there are no intentional or technical fouls involved
- only one player is going to shoot the free throws because he/she was the only one fouled


i ask this to my local officials and only 1 guy got it right

4

[Rock Chalk]

no, you'll be suprised at the answer

[WhistlesAndStripes]

And now, to elaborate, this would occur if you were to call a multiple foul on a missed 3 point shot. For example, A22 is attempting a 3 point shot, and is fouled simultaneously by B23 and B32. The attempt is no good. You call both fouls. It's 2 shots per foul.

[Rock Chalk]

you have the right idea..but 4 isn't right

[WhistlesAndStripes]

Now that you put it that way, the answer would be 10. Same sitch I described, although the player is fouled simultaneously by all 5 opposing players on the court at the same time.

[Rock Chalk]

correct...but the odds that all 5 defensive players foul the same 3 pt. shooter at the same time and an offical calling 5 fouls is about .00099%.

I like these questions because I think it shows that those who nail it right away have a very good understanding of the rules.

Actually calling a 5-person multiple is a different arguement.

Not to mention it's a bad offensive play to take this shot with 5 defenders on you. Someone has to be open.

Only two free throws on a missed 3 point shot? Why not three? Or am I missing something due to the multiple foul?

Rule 10-6-PENALTIES6b(2) gives....

it's just what is in the rule book.

a player is awarded 1 shot per multiple foul on a made or missed 2 point basket.

a player is awarded one foul shot per mulitple foul on a made 3 point basket and 2 foul shots per multiple foul on a missed 3 point basket.

so basically...you want to miss the shot because you can only score 8 points if you make the 3 pointer, but if you miss you can score up to 10 points. So when in the situation...tell your players to miss the shot.

Look in the back of your rule book and find the section that says Summary of Penalties for All Fouls.

Under Multiple Foul it states two free throws for each foul of an unsuccessful three-point try or tap.
