Dead Ball
 

When A1 has a shot off in the air, what call will cancel the basket besides offense charge?

The only time a shot in the air is cancelled, is when the foul is on the shooter(player control). If the shooter lands, then fouls the shot counts.

What if A2 fouls B1 while A1 shot is in the air?

Goaltending or basket interference.

Not quite the only time.

Why would this cancel the basket?

Offensive elbow or leaving the court.

(I assume this is a "rules" question and not a "would you ever call this" question.)

Wouldn't a foul by A2 cause the ball to become dead immediately?

No, not if the shot is in flight.

<strike>Actually, reading the rule, I think you're right.
Rule 6-7-4 says it becomes dead if a player or team control occurs. No exceptions apply to this.

I'm not sure this isn't new.</strike>
Never mind.

So excessively swinging the elbows would back it dead immediatley and don't count the basket?

When does the ball become dead? (Rule 6)

What are the exceptions? Do any apply here?

And when does team control end?

Yes, as it's a violation.

WTF? You're better than this.

IS there PC or TC on a try?

I think Snaq is just having a brain fart.

Yep. Buried myself in the exceptions for a moment forgetting when TC ends.

Surehands, the answer to your stream of questions can be found on page 71 of this year's Fed Rules book. It has 19 other corollaries that will definitely enhance your scope of knowledge.....

13. A live-ball foul by the offense (team in control or last in control if the ball is loose) ,or the expiration of time for a quarter or extra period, causes the ball to become dead immediately, unless the ball is in flight during a try or tap for goal. The ball also becomes dead when a player-control foul occurs.

Rule 9-13-1 and pentaly says excessive swing of elbow, ball is dead innediately so the fouls by A2 would cancel A1's airborne shot.

Violations are not fouls; fouls are not violations. They are different beasts. Each has its own separate rule (rule 9 for violations, rule 10 for fouls). Each has a distinct penalty. You cannot mix and match. An excessive swinging violation by A1 would kill the shot, a foul by A1 would not.
