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

With less than a minute to play in a close game, A-1 scores on a breakaway layup.  When B-1 goes to pick up the ball for the throw-in, A-1 intentionally shields B-1 away from the ball.

Handle the situation.


This should result in a technical foul for delay of game for preventing the ball from being put in play.  Team B would be awarded two free throws and would be given a division line throw-in opposite the table.
