Intentional foul

[Tio]

Do you have a rule reference?

I can find Rule 10 section 1:

e. Two free throws for:

2. An intentional personal or flagrant personal foul
and the ball awarded at a designated spot nearest to
where the foul occurred.

and

f. Three free throws for:

A personal foul against a player who attempts a three-point
field goal and whose try is unsuccessful. When the personal
foul is intentional or flagrant, the ball also shall be awarded
to the offended team at a designated spot nearest to where

the foul occurred.

I guess it just doesn't mention specifically in the case of the 3 pt. make. And Brad, you are right, most coaches don't know the rule. Thanks for the assist!

True... And an intentional foul on a shot that is successful is a weird play -- you don't see it that often. I did have this happen in a game and we administered it correctly.

I did have to explain the rule to the coach and it took about 3-4 times of going back and forth of "Are you sure?", "Even though the ball went in?", etc. before he finally accepted it... Fortunately I knew the coach and assistant pretty well or I'm not sure they would have ever believed me!
