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-4 is fouled in the act of shooting.  After the whistle has sounded, the horn sounds before the ball is released.  The ball passes through the basket. The official observed 0:00.4 on the clock when the whistle was sounded.  

Handle the situation.


Since the official observed that time remained on the clock when the whistle was sounded, that time should be put back on the clock.  Since there is time remaining in the quarter, the goal counts.  A-4 should be awarded one free throw with players lined up along the lane.
