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

A1’s try is in flight.  A2 and B2 are charged with a double foul while jostling for rebounding position.  Then the ball passes through the basket.

Handle the situation.


Since the try was in flight, the double foul does not make the ball dead.  The goal counts.  By rule this is a point-of-interruption play.  The point of interruption is when the ball became dead.  Since there was a try in flight when the double foul occurred, the ball became dead when it passed through the basket.  Play will be resumed with a throw-in by Team B on the end line.  Team B may move along the end line as after any score.
