Can someone please tell where in the NFHS basketball rule book it says that the penalty for an intentional foul is two shots.

I know the award of possession after the free throws is addressed in Rule 7-Section 4, Article 2 and Rule 8-section 5, Article 3.

I am aware of the Summary of Penalties section. However, I would like the rule, section and article that gives us the instruction to award two free throws for an intentional foul.

I'm at work and my current rule books are in my bag at home...but, I have last year's case book here.

Intentional Foul
4.19.3A
PLAY: B1 is charged with an intentional foul on A1 who is in the act of shooting: (a) a successful two-point or three-point try;
RULING: A1 is awarded two free throws

Dan

Page 65 of the rule book, <i>Summary of Penalties for All Fouls</i><br><br><b>4. Two free throws if intentional or flagrant, plus ball for throw in.</b>

Hey Dan, thanks for your response. I would still like to get the reference in the rule book (not the Summary of Penalties) if anyone knows the exact rule, section article.

There are no rule book references for how many FTs to shoot except in the Summary of Penalties. That's why it was written, because the info is not anywhere else. Why the need?

The summary is the rule. You won't find "you get two shots plus ball for an intentional foul" in the rulebook.

I don't think there is a rule, per se. Look at the definition of a foul--no where is it mentioned you get X shots depending on whether the ball goes in. Likewise for technical and intentional fouls--the only place it specifies how many shots is in the summaries for fouls.

Sounds like an enterprising coach cracked the rule book and could not find it...

Remember the penalty for an intentional foul on a missed 3-pointer is 3 shots plus the ball.

And, before anyone else asks, yes, the 2-shot penalty applies on a successful 2 or 3 point basket.

Good point,Mark.Irregardless of the above posts,that is certainly not irrelevant!

Mr. Tschriver- try looking in the case book 4.19.3 they give some pretty good examples of intentional foul situations and they even give you the penalty.

By the way... didn't you know that the NFHS rules books(s)were written by retired lawyers and officials who make it almost impossible to find what you want in one place


Keep hoopin y'all!!!!

Why do you still get 2 shots on a successful basket? This is different to FIBA (oh my what a suprise - NFHS and FIBA disagree:)) where only one shot is awarded if the basket is good.

Because otherwise the opponent would be encouraged to foul the opponent on every three.

Huh....but if they did an intentional (unsportsmanlike in FIBA) foul on a three-point attempt the fould player gets 3 free throws if it misses, or the points and 1 if it is good (plus the ball on the halfway line).

My point was that under FIBA rules, only 1 free throw is shot for any foul committed on a successful attempt - common or unsportsmanlike. This is apparently different to NFHS which grants a minimum of 2 shots regardless of whether the shot is good or not.
