Did we get it right?

[The R]

Had something similar this weekend....A1 drives the lane and shoots. B1 comes running over from middle of the lane and attempts to block shot. A1 returns to the floor and then is run over by B1 whose momentum carried him through A1.

I whistle the foul from lead. My partner tells me the shot went in. So we count the basket and A has a throw-in from the point of the interruption since A1 had returned to the floor and was no longer an airborne shooter.

How does POI enter into this play?

Where else would you have the throwin from?

Throw-in is from the spot nearest the foul. POI has nothing to do with it.

I see what you are saying I was using POI because the game was interrupted. We are talking about the spot on the floor though.

Sure it was interrupted, just like any time you blow the whistle. But just for kicks, wouldn't the POI have been a throwin for the non-scoring team? Instead you rightly gave the ball to A at the spot of the foul.

It would if scoring a basket is an interruption to the game.

The spot nearest the foul.

POI is used only when there's a double foul, an inadvertant whistle, a correctable error, ...

It's not used when there's a single foul (except for most single non-flagrant T's in NCAA) or a false double foul, ....

So, it's not relevant in your play.

Terminology matters.

I see what you mean. I was applying the literal sense of the word interruption from the definition of POI.

So no there was no application of POI by definition in the play.
