NFHS case play list?

[oc]

Team A is behind by three points when A–1, in front of the team B bench, attempts a 3-point try at the horn. B-6 comes off the bench and blocks the ball just after A–1 releases the ball. Official charges team B with a flagrant technical foul and awards team A three free throws. Is the official correct?

--I remember this play as a NFHS case play on the website a few years back-but can't find it. Can anyone help me find it? If I remember correctly NFHS doesn't save them on the net so there was a thread that stored them on this message board somewhere-but I can't locate that either.

The official is incorrect. The correct penalty is 2 Ts.

Do an advanced search on titles with the word "interps".

2005-06 NFHS Basketball Rules Interpretations

SITUATION 12: Team B has just scored to go up by three points with time running out in the fourth quarter. Player A1 inbounds the ball to A2 close to the sideline of Team B's bench. A2 releases a three-point try just prior to the horn sounding. Substitute B7 leaves the bench area, enters the court and blocks the shot. RULING: B7 shall be charged with two technical fouls and ejected. One technical foul is assessed for entering the court without permission and one for unsporting conduct. Any member of Team A may shoot the four free throws for the technical fouls. The results of these free throws will determine if the game is over or going into overtime. COMMENT: Two technical fouls must be assessed in this situation. Otherwise, the team committing the infraction would benefit from the act. (10-4-1; 10-4-2)

What if A2 was fouled while in the act?

Can a non-player commit a personal foul?

Exactly... I'm just thinking what if during the block, he knocks down the shooter as well?
But as you pointed out, a personal foul can only be committed by a legal "player".

A personal foul can only be committed by a player. In this case, the substitute would not be able to commit a personal foul.
However, I think the contact by the substitute is important in determiningwhether the act is unsporting, for the block shot only, or a flagrant, for the illegal contact.

A2 releases a three-point try just prior to the horn sounding....

Would the penalty remain two technical fouls had the blocked shot been a two-point try?

[APG]

Personally I'm still T'ing for the entering, and flagrant T for interfering...regardless of if it's a two or three

You need to check the definition of a technical foul in 4-17. You will see that part of the wording is "a foul by a non-player" or something similar.
Therefore, such a foul would have to be a technical foul.

I don't believe so. The basis of the NFHS ruling was that only one technical foul was not enough to compensate the offended team for being deprived of the three-point attempt since they could only score two points from the ensuing free throws, thus two technicals and four FTs were required for fairness. That would not be the case on a two-point attempt.
