NCAA 5-1-7 and NF 5-2-4 say
The only infractions for which points are AWARDED are goaltending by the defense or basket interference at the opponent's basket.
2-3-1 says
The referee shall make decisions on any points not specifically covered in the rules.
Now, what point is it that you guys don't understand? When an official can award points is covered by the rules. You can't ignore the rule and decide that you're going to award points in another situation. It says specifically that you can only award points for GT or BI.
Very clear. Crystal clear.

I agree with Tony completely on this one.Unless the block includes BI or GT,you can't award a basket.This sitch is completely different than the last one,where the shooter was fouled-and you could use R2-3 to award the number of shots normally applicable on a foul.In this one,I think all you can do,following the guidelines in the book,is issue a T for coming off the bench and then a flagrant T for interfering in the play.That means 4 FT's and the ball,if any time is remaining.The FT's have to be shot as part of the 4th quarter also,again according to the guidelines in the book.JMO!
