shooting at the wrong basket
 
What is the rule if team A shoots towards team B's basket, get fouled in the act of shooting and the ball goes in and team A is in bonus???

No basket. The ball becomes dead on the foul unless a try is in progress. A player cannot, by rule, have "try" towards the wrong basket.

One and one.

The foul still causes the ball to become dead. No basket

It's still dead unless it's in the air on a try. The applicable rule is 6-7-7. All of the exceptions listed involve a tap or try for goal.

Think about this play.

A1 throws a long pass to A2 streaking down the court, and the ball bounces high from about the three point line. Just after it bounces, the official calls a foul on B3 who is attempting to guard A2. After the whistle, the ball, which was in the air following the bounce, goes through the basket.

These plays may seem completely different, but as far as the rules are concerned, they are identical.

A pass is not a try or tap, the ball would be dead in your play above.

Rule 4-41 Shooting, Try, Tap

A try for field goal is an attempt by a player to score two or three points by throwing the ball into a team's own basket.


It is not a try for goal if you shot the ball in the wrong basket so if you have a foul before the ball enters the basket the ball is dead.

Exactly.
