Player Control and count the basket, NFHS?

[jritchie]

Big discussion last night at the local meeting. A1 going in for layup, releases the ball, B1 set in legal guarding position under basket in plenty of time, B2 goaltends A1's shot: a: before A1 crashes into B1 for the player control foul, b: after A1 crashes into B1 for the player control foul.

Our leader of the group was trying to say the basket counts either situation, but if you go by when the ball is dead 6-7-4, there is no way to count it in situation b, because the ball is now dead.

I first thought he was crazy in both situations, but after looking into the first one, I came to the conclusion the offensive team can get an awarded basket because of the violation before the player control foul and that can't be ignored. Was a good discussion.
