2 Questions - Part II - NFHS
 

I've got two questions I need some help with. Anyone want to lend their interpretations?

Live Ball - Dead Ball

# 63 - The ball is live and A1's basket shall count if successful when B1 fouls A2 just as A1's shooting motion begins.

TRUE - 6.7.7 EXC. c

#67 - The ball becomes dead immediately when the defense commits a violation for leaving the floor for an unauthorized reason.

TRUE - 9.3.3 PEN.

Thanks for whatever help you can provide!

63 is true, for the reason you state.

67 is false, because the ball remains live if the violation occurs during a try. If no try is involved, then the ball is supposed to become dead immediately.

#63 - True as you stated
#67 - False - I do not have my current books, but 06-07 9.3.2 Sit D covers it.

The defensive team should not benefit from the tactic. If time is not a factor, the defense should be penalized with the violation or a technical foul for unsporting behavior. (10-1-8)</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

For 63 the NFHS also clarified that continuous motion applies when the foul by the defense is NOT committed against the player trying for goal. It is also in force when the foul is against one of the shooter's teammates.
