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

Both teams are in the bonus.  With just seconds remaining in a close ball game, Team A has the ball for a throw-in on the end line in backcourt.  A1 attempts to make a long pass to A5 in the frontcourt.  Just before the ball arrives, A5 pushes off B5 in order to catch the pass.  The official rules a common foul on A5.

Handle the situation.


Since this common foul has occurred during a throw-in, A5 is guilty of a team control foul.  Although Team B is in the bonus, no free throws will be attempted.  Team B will be awarded a designated spot throw-in from the spot out of bounds nearest to where the foul occurred.
