The crew talked it over, and went with just the foul on B1. In NF, if we saw both fouls, wouldn't that be a false double foul? (I don't have this year's book.) Normally, we'd apply both penalties for a false double. In this case, though, since we had a PC foul, we'd charge B1 and A1 with fouls, not have any FTs, then give B the ball for a throw-in? Is that right?

I heard them talking about this play, but didn't see it...NF I believe you are right we would call the foul on B1, then the PC foul on A1...A1 shoots two with the lane clear and and B gets the ball out of bounds..since the PC foul caused the ball to become dead, you could not count the basket if it went in.

I'll take a shot at NCAA...I thought it was the same in NCAA as far as charging both fouls, only difference being if the shot was released when A1 charged into B2, you would count the bucket if it went in, A1 would shoot 1 FT and B2 would shoot at the other end if B was in the bonus since this is not considered PC, just a push...if the ball did not go in, again A1 shoots two FT's and B2 shoots at the other end if in the bonus, otherwise B's ball at endline....if the shot was not released when A1 charged into B2, then you have the same situation as NF, A1 shoots two with lane clear, charge a PC foul to A1, B's ball at endline following A1's FT's...

Not sure why they would just charge the initial foul and not the subsequent push?
