Flagrant foul during the shot

Submit a rule change suggestion granting an extra free throw for intentional fouls committed against players in the act of shooting.

This happened last night during the Syracuse game and I still didnt like the fact that they didnt get a 3rd free throw. BUT...atleast i got to see the rule in full force! Thanks for the help on the forum.

BTW- I am trying to get into officiating and was wondering if you had any suggestions?

This looks like a good place to start.

It has email contacts in there based on your area of SC.

That's if you want to get in at the hs level. If you want to work YMCA type ball, contact the rec center or YMCA near you and find out who schedules officials. They should have contact information for you as well.

I read it in case play somewhere that you don't shoot 4 foul shots. Two and the ball unless a missed three point attempt. One that doesn't seem right at first look but makes much more sense the longer you look at it.

I guess all i am saying is if an intentional/flagrant foul is commited during the non-shooting act the offensive team should not receive the same reward as during the shot(my opinion)

You need to take this argument up with the rules makers. We enforce the rules, we don't write them.

Thanks for the link. I emailed the head official in district 8(my district) for basketball and football on Tuesday but received no response. I will continue to search for the correct avenue but I appreciate your insight.

EVERY intentional foul is 2 shots except for one on a missed 3-pointer...Then 3 shots.
