The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.

After the jump ball to start the game, A-2 tries to save the ball from going out of bounds by grabbing the ball and tossing the ball back into the court.  A-2’s pass is intercepted by B-3.

Handle the situation.


Since A-2 had possession of the ball, A-2 started the alternating possession procedure.  The fact that B-3 intercepted A-2’s pass does not change that fact.  The alternating possession arrow should be set toward Team B’s basket.
