Excellent Quiz by Goht Van Den Brink

Situation: A1 is shooting their last free throw. Before the ball is released, A3 pushes B3.
Q1. The official calls a foul on A3. This is a team-control foul.
Q2. This is a false double foul, so A1’s last free throw is canceled.
Q3. If Team B is not in the bonus and A1’s free throw is successful, Team B’s throw-in may be anywhere along the end line.
Q4. If Team B is not in the bonus and A1’s free throw is unsuccessful, the throw-in is from the designated spot nearest the foul.
Q5. If Team B is in the bonus, B3 will be awarded 2 free throws, and play will resume from those free throws.





Answer :

Quote of the Week:
"Incidental contact: The result of the contact, within the context of Rule 4-27, is more important in determining its legality or illegality than the contact itself."
