Offensive foul / basket counts?

[Camron Rust]

As Adam mentioned, did the foul occur after the shot release AND after the shooter returned to the floor (or never jumped)? If so, that would not be considered a player control foul and the shot would count.

The fact this was a JH game tells me any of these situations are possible.

Just so ram understands the ruling here:

1. If the shooter is still airborne after release of the try and crashes the defender, then by (NFHS) rule the foul is a player control foul, and the basket (if made) should be canceled.

2. Once the shooter has returned to the floor (with a foot) he is no longer an airborne shooter. At that point, his crashing the defender, while still a foul, is not a player control foul. Since it occurs during a try, when there is no team control either, it is not a team control (offensive) foul. Thus, if the try is successful it will count, and the foul is treated as a common foul, just as if a non-shooter had committed a rebounding foul.

As others have mentioned, NCAAM treats #1 like #2, provided the foul occurs after release of the try. All we know for sure is that the official counted the bucket: if #2 happened, he got it right. If #1 happened, maybe he was applying the NCAAM rule, or maybe he just blew it.
