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

Neither team is in the bonus.  A-1 is attempting his last free throw.  A-2 and B-2 enter the lane and B-2 commits a common foul against A-2.  The ball passes through the basket.

Handle the situation.


Because the free throw is in flight, the goal counts.  The ball becomes dead when the free throw ends.  Team A will be awarded the ball out of bounds at the nearest “magic” spot to the foul on the end line.
