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-3 attempts a three-point try and is successful.  After ball goes through the basket, A-2 makes his hand into a gun and mimics firing the gun.

Handle the situation.


This is unsporting conduct and should result in a technical foul being ruled on A-2 regardless of where the “gun” was aimed.  Team B would be awarded two free throws and the ball at the division line opposite the table for a designated spot throw-in.
