Teammate's excessively swinging elbows causes a shot to be dead sometimes?

[bradfordwilkins]

Starting back up with some adult rec leagues before camp, thought I'd flip through the case book for a good old refresher.

And I can't for the life of me figure out the logic in 9.13.1 (I know its referencing 6-7-9 Exception D)

The ball has been released on a field goal try or tap by A1 towards A's basket (a) A2, or (b) B1, excessively swings arm(s) or elbow(s) without contacting an opponent. The ball goes through the basket.

In (a) the official will sound the whistle immediatley for a violation. The ball is dead, the goal is not scored.

In (b), the ball is dead when the try ends. The goal is scored and Team A is awarded a throw-in at the spot closest to the violation.


I don't see how (a) is possible (except for the fact an exception exists). And my question then, does the same exception refer to team control fouls away from the ball?

Example The ball has been released on a field goal try or tap by A1 towards A's basket. Away from the basket after the release but before the try is successful, A2 illegally displaces B1 (boxing out several feet backwards/knocking down B1). The basket is good...

Does the basket count?

It is NOT a team control foul right? So if B was in the bonus, B1 would shoot?
