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

A-1 has the ball in one corner in frontcourt.  A-1 passes the ball to A-2 in the other corner.  The ball hits the net causing the net to flip up.  A-2 drives to the basket and is fouled.  The ball comes to rest in the net.

Handle the situation.


This is a good goal.  The rules state that a goal is scored when a live ball enters the basket from above and passes through or remains in the basket.  Since A-2 was fouled, A-2 will be awarded one free throw and play will resume as after any free throw.
