Now, I'm not the brighest pupil in the classroom but this does not seem right.

I believe you should pass on the foul is the shoot is successful or count the basket and award one free-throw.

JMO, it does not make sense to disallow a basket but award free throws for a shooting foul.

Thoughts???

What do you consider a trend? You've seen this how many times? Did the trend also include ejecting both coaches?

A's coach: It went in!! Give us a basket and 1 shot!

B's coach: It can't be two shots! You waved it off! It's gotta be 1 & 1!

I had something close to this happen in a game once. I had a partner call a foul and the basket went in and he tells me that we have 2 shots. Before he reported the foul, I went up to him real quick and said "Either we have no basket out of bounds, or basket good one shot" he says in return "There is continuation in high school?" I told him yes and he flushed the basket. Glad he was able to make the correct decision in the end.

Caliref, this is the exact situation I was trying to get across. Some believes that continuation does not apply in HS basketball this is where Rule 4-11 allows it to happen.

I never said anything about coaches being ejected. I was making an attempt to identify that official(s) does not believe in continous motion when a player is fouled in HS basketball.
