1. In a rebound situation A4 tips the ball towards the basket. After the ball has left his hand and before he returns with both feet to the floor, he is fouled by B4. The ball does not enter the basket. Shall A4 be awarded two free-throws?
2. While the ball is in the air on a last free- throw a double foul is called. The ball does not enter the basket. Is this a jump ball situation?
3. B4 commits an unsportsmanlike foul on A4 during a successful field goal attempt, after which coach B commits a technical foul. All three free-throws are executed by A5. The wrong shooter of the first free-throw is discovered before the throw-in from the centre line extended is administered. Shall the first free-throw be cancelled and play resume with a throw-in for team B at the free-throw line extended?
4. After a shot for a field goal by A4 the ball rebounds from the ring but still has the chance to enter the basket. B4 touches the ball in its downward flight. Is this a legal play?
