Trivia Question
After the thrower-in, A1,extends the ball over the inside edge of th ebounday plane, she is then contacted (fouled) on the arm by B1. Is this a Intentional Foul on B1, or a Common Foul on B1?
|
Did the defender reach through the plane to foul the thrower? ;)
|
No, The thrower A1 reaches the ball over the plane but has not released the ball to pass in the ball. A1's arms are over the plane, and B1 fouls his/her arm. (same type if A1 puts ball over and B1 ties up ball, we have a held ball situation.)

And, I'd say "not enough information to answer." Sure, the ball is over the court, but where (relative to the throw-in boundary plane) did the foul occur? |
You are thinking way to far into it, A is throwing the ball in on a throw-in. A puts ball and arms over the boundary plane, but does not release the ball yet. B1 hits A1 in the arm while going for the ball. Is it a intentional foul because B1 fouled a inbounder or is a common foul because A had the ball and arms over the boundary plane.
I thought this was confusing as well, it was on my NCCA test I just completed. (but the rule is the same for HS) |

A1 holds the ball through the plane, but B1 contacts A1 on the portion of the arm that is on the OOB side of the plane. Ruling: Intentional Foul. I knew the answer you were looking for, but your question didn't necessarily lead to that answer. |
This foul could potentially be intentional due to roughness. The OP did not specifically preclude roughness, but it was probably intended.
