TEAM A GRASPS THE RIM BEFORE THE START OF THE GAME. WHATS THE PENALTY AND HOW IS THE BALL PUT INTO PLAY.

If we go out on a limb and figure that the officials saw this happen, and that it was flagrant enough to deserve a technical foul, then in NCAA the other team would shoot 2 shots, and then the game would resume with a jump ball at center court.

If we are talking NF, then the team which shot the free throws would get the ball at the division line, and the team which grasped the rim would get the arrow.

...and the T would be an indirect on the coach, who would lose coaching box privileges.

Why would the team grasping the rim get the next arrow? Since the inbounds is based on the T, wouldn't that make the AP irrelevant at that time?

it's not an indirect to the coach in NCAA, nor is it a player foul, nor does it count toward the team total.

not only is it an indirect to the coach in NFHS, but it is a direct to the player and counts toward the team total.

hope this helps.

When the game begins (can't be in the bonus yet) with free throws instead of a jump ball, the arrow is set when the ball is at the disposal of the thrower. 4-3.

Oh geez :o

It would help if I read the situation right. For some dumb reason I thought it was during halftime and the AP had already been set... my bad

Thanks :D
