Foul Ruling?
This was not my play and I was not there to witness it. This is how it was described to me by an official who was there. A1, attempting a 3 point FG from the wing, is fouled in the act of shooting by B1. As A1 falls to the floor, he grabs the arm of B1 and pulls B1 down on top of himself. This grabbing and pulling of B1 was not judged to be accidental. I'm interested to see how this play would be ruled by forum members.

Probably a double personal foul is in order.

Common foul…followed by intentional foul.
The first foul was a normal " basketball play". The second was a deliberate, non-basketball act that was intentional and excessive. |

I think they're close enough to the same time to consider it a double foul. No shots for either player. POI. a) AP if shot is missed, b) B ball along endline if shot is made. |

Had A1 landed when he pulled down B1 or was he still airborne?

In this same context of a foul followed by another, What if on a drive A1 is clearly pushed (but not intentional) by B1 off his unobstructed, intended path, and directly into B2, who is in LGP, and we have a decent size crash. My guess is that most officials would only have one foul here, ruling that the contact by B1 caused A2 to crash in to B2, and therefore ignore the PC foul.
So in the OP, if, say, the foul was an early box out type, and the shooter took a butt to the gut, and his arms naturally dropped as a result of this over the defender's shoulders and chest, and this caused the defender to fall to the ground, would it change anyone's thought process of double foul? I realize my comparison is not the same, but I'm wondering if the reasoning of a foul directly causing another foul would have an influence? |

So....it got me to thinking about the penalty sequence because I believed it was different between NFHS and NCAA. Looked up NFHS. See 10-6 PENALTIES 1c + NOTE, and the note says, "If one or both fouls of a double foul are flagrant*, no free throws are awarded..." * Very interested that this doesn't read, "If one or both fouls of a double foul are intentional or flagrant, no free throws are awarded..." Certainly one can assume that if a single flagrant doesn't warrant FTs, an intentional shouldn't, either. But why would the NFHS leave the reader to interpret that? Hmmmm. Looked up NCAAM & NCAAW. See 10-1 PENALTY f. I'll summarize: In NCAA, because one of the personal fouls is flagrant (Flagrant 1), you'd shoot both sets of FTs, i.e. first the 3 (or 1) for the three pointer, then the two for the F1 at the other end, and then B gets the ball at the spot nearest the foul (POI). |

2. The ball isn't necessarily dead, and in most cases if the players are still falling, it is not dead. If this is a double foul (I think it likely is), and if the shooter's is deemed to be intentional, you've still got no shots and POI. |
Did the ball...
... go in the basket?

Common foul on defender = 3 shots for shooter with lane cleared. Technical foul on shooter (intentional after whistle) = 2 shots and ball for defense. |

Also, if it's all part of the same action, I'm going with a double foul. You may choose differently, but I don't think we can rule anything out. |
Quote:
So, a foul after the try could be handled separately IMO. without seeing the play, it is hard to say for sure, but as said above, not 100% clear to rule anything out. |

False Double foul. Doesn't matter if the ball goes in or not. Second foul by A1 was a player control and caused ball to become dead. Wipe the basket anyway! A1 gets 3 throws, with lane space cleared; because the ball goes to POI and is awarded to Team B. |
Quote:
POI depends on whether the basket goes in. If it does, B gets the ball for an end line throw in. If it does not go in, you go to the arrow at the spot nearest the double foul. 10-6 penalty 1c, "No free throws: for double personal or technical fouls (point of interruption). |
I'm sorry - this is a false double foul (4-11; 4-19-6; 4-19-9)
I stand corrected - good catch. |

I don't think this is all that clear cut, though, so I know a few are going to get a different answer. |

"Returned to the floor" is open to interpretation isn't it? What if a player shoots a set shot (not leaving the floor at all)?
If "airborne shooter" really only applied to literally being in the air - most girls below the collegiate level wouldn't get many FT's for "jump shots" on that dreaded illegal block-out. Unless we are forced to go to a monitor in high school - that foul by the shooter seems to create the very confusing false double foul: Live ball, fouls by both teams, before the clock is started following the first. |
Ball Released, No Longer In Act Of Shooting ...
