Basketball Officials Exam - Question #1

Play #1 - Late in the 4th quarter Team A is trying to advance the ball from backcourt to frontcourt against defensive pressure. A1 attempts to pass the ball to A2 near the division line. B2 attempts to steal the pass. A2 fouls B2 across the neck as the ball bounces off of B2's hands. It is the 10th team foul of the half for Team A. The officials award B2 two free throws. Were the officials correct?

The officials were NOT correct. Although there was no player control by Team A when the foul occurred, by rule, team control still exists since B2 has not gained control of the ball. Therefore, this is a team control foul. Team B should have been awarded a designated spot throw-in.
