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. While A2 is in the act of shooting and just before A2 releases a three-point try, B5 fouls A5. The ball passes through the goal.
Handle the situation.
Since the foul is by the defense, the continuous motion rule applies. Therefore, A2 is allowed to complete his try. Since the ball went through the goal, Team A will be credited with three points. Since the foul is a common foul and Team A is in the bonus, A5 will be awarded a bonus free situation. Players will line up along the lane and play will proceed as after any free throw attempt.
