Intentional Foul
 

A1 goes up for a layup and B1 intentionally fouls him. A1 makes the basket.

How many Free Throws are awarded after and where is the ball put into play??

Let's see how many get this right.

A1 is awarded two free throws with no players occupying the spots on the free throw lane. After A1's free throws, Team A is awarded the ball for a throw-in nearest the spot of B1's intentional personal foul against A1.

MTD, Sr.

Agreed.

Is this really that tough?

Not Really ...
 

The fact that the ball went in, which usually results in one free throw, might make some rookie officials pause for a second before deciding to award two free throws for the intentional foul.

An ever so slightly tougher question, along the same lines: A1 is intentionally fouled while in the act of shooting a three point attempt. The attempt does not go in. How many free throws are awarded?

Depends if you call the T on the coach for complaining about you making a call "he's never seen before in 20 years of coaching."

I'll take a stab:

Night games: SEVEN.

Day games: SIX.

Games that are played on a ship that crosses the international date line, TWO.




In all seriousness, I think this is one that rooks get wrong because they look for more from the book than it says. The books says that the penalty for an intentional foul is two fouls shots. It doesn't say anything about made baskets, missed baskets, etc... the penalty is two shots, and possession of the ball at the spot nearest the foul call.

Try this never-will-happen variation. A1 is shooting a 3 point attempt. He is simultaneously fouled by B1, whose foul is deemed intentional, and by B2 (not intentional). The ball goes in. How many free throws are awarded to A1?

And you can't cop out by saying you'd rule one foul happened before or after the other.

Oh?:confused:

NFHS rule 10-6PENALTIES4&5 covers all situations.

NFHS rule 10-6PENALTIES6(b)

Thanks.

You're welcome.

FIBA - assuming you mean an unsportsmanlike foul, then it would be 1 shot with no lineup and the ball inbounded at the halfway line.

Mark:

If you have stopped taking your meds, start taking them again. You are starting to think like me. :D

MTD, Sr.

C'mon T-dawg, you can do better than this one!!!!

:D

I know... It was just the first thing that popped into my head.
Hey here is another situation that happened in my rec game last night.

A1 is dribbling the ball and is intentional fouled by B1. After the foul has been called, A2 pushes B1 which results in an intentional technical foul.

How many FT's are shot, how and where is play resumed. What' s the High School and College ruling.

Try this brain buster.

Same rulings for NFHS and NCAA-M. I don't know the women's ruling. False double foul. Penalize both fouls and administer in the order in which they occurred. A1 shoots 2 FTs with nobody on the lane. Then any member of Team B shoots 2 FTs with nobody on the lane. (One minor difference is that in NCAA, the same player from Team B must shoot both technical FTs. In NFHS, different players could shoot the technical FTs.) Then the ball is inbounded by Team B at the midcourt line.

NFHS:
1. A1 attempts two FTs with the lane spaces unoccupied.
2. Any member of Team B attempts two FTs with the lane spaces empty.
3. Team B is awarded the ball at the division line opposite the table.

NCAA Mens:
Is the same administration as NFHS because the foul by A1 is an intentional technical foul for dead ball contact.
(Team B does have the option to have the throw-in tableside if they wish.)

Maybe I'll learn something from you today.

I know the rule says the ball's put in play from the designated spot on either side of the division line.

Where does it say the option belongs to team B?

It doesn't, as you in your ever-patronizing manner are well-aware. Of course, you also know that the book doesn't provide any criteria by which the officials should make the determination of proper side of the court. I've also checked the casebook for some direction and found none. So the desire of the offended team is as reasonable a determining factor as anything else at this point.

I'll inquire with some people and see if I can get you a quality answer.

This is only something you would care about. ;)

Peace

Don't bother. An interpretation is that either coach can ask or the crew can decide on their own to move the ball tableside for whatever reason. The coach's request does not have to be honored. Of course this virtually never happens, but if it did anything you do would be within the rules as written.

Does anybody else have a different interpretation...? Or has anybody else even thought about this?

Yeah, that coaches probably don't even realize they have the choice.

That's for sure.

I'm out of my area and this is probably somehow a dumb question.......but, isn't NCAA point of interruption after all technicals?

Not after intentional or flagrant Ts

No way Bob... this is a good question. You would be surprised how many people would get this incorrect. The type of technical basically determines where the ball is put in play. Let's say the player doesn't push the opponent and you stick him for his language. Now where is the ball put back in play? Both rulings are different.

The type of T could also determine who gets the ball, not just where.

Yah I was just going to mention that. During the dead ball you can have an intentional technical, flagrant technical, team technical, personal technical, etc. All determine where the ball is put in play and who gets it.

In HS I went out with a girl who I found out had false doubles. It was definitely foul. :p
