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 is attempting to inbound the ball via a throw-in when B-1 reaches through the boundary plane and slightly makes contact with A-1’s arm.   

Handle the situation.


By rule, this is an intentional personal foul.  No previous warning for delay is required.  A-1 will be awarded two free throws with no players lined up.  Team A will be awarded a designated spot throw-in from the spot of the original throw-in if such spot was in the backcourt.  If in the frontcourt, the throw-in will be from the designated special throw-in spot nearest to where the foul occurred.
