hello everyone

a=offense b=defense

a1 has released his shot from behind the 3 point arc, while the ball is in flight.

question#1 b1 pushes a2 in the back and a is not in the bonus how is this administered?

question#2 a3 pushes b3 in the back and b is in tne bonus,
how is this administered?

Tim,
In both cases, the 3-point shot counts if it is made, since the ball was released prior to the foul and will remain live until the try ends.
#1 Team A ball out-of-bounds at the spot near the foul.
#2 B3 will shoot 1-and-1 at the other end.

Lastly, in #1 if Team A was in the bonus, A2 would shoot 1-and-1. And in #2 if the shot had not yet been released when the foul occurred the ball would be dead immediately and the shot would not count.

Nevadaref is completely correct, just wanted to add that in #1, if A1 is in the act of shooting but has not yet released the shot when the foul occurs, it would still count if it goes.
So if you had
A1 jumps to shoot a three
B2 fouls A3, whistle just as A1 releases shot, basket goes;
Count the bucket A gets ball out of bounds or shoots bonus...

Unless the "push" hindered the opponent from making normal defensive of offensive maneuvers, it would be "administered" by ignoring it (or by talking to the players).

Flow Control
 

bob,
That works!
We haven't talked about "Flow Control" for a long time.

For clarification, if B2 fouls A3 after the shooter has started his habitual throwing motion but before the ball is released, the basket still counts and A gets the ball. Of course if the off ball foul is by a teammate, the ball is dead immediately.
