Two for the newbies, or anyone else

[Mark Padgett]

Final weekend of spring league. Had two boys V and a JV game this afternoon. Two situations came up that I thought might be fun to discuss.

1) A1 shoots a three. While the ball is in the air, B1 fouls A2. The shot then goes in. Team A is in the bonus. What should happen? What, if anything, would be different if A1 was fouled on the shot prior to B1 fouling A2 but everything else was the same?

2) With a few seconds left, A1 inbounds to A2 who throws the ball toward the basket from behind the division line. The shot is short and as it comes down, A3 and B1 jump for it. The ball deflects off A3's hand into the air, the horn sounds ending the game and then the ball goes in the basket. Are points awarded to team A?
