Correct Free Throw Shooter

Since the 2010-11 season, referees have used replay when they are not reasonably certain which player should attempt free throws on a called foul.

Referees do not review video to determine which player committed the foul or whether a foul was warranted; they only seek to determine which player was fouled.

Reviewable Matter:

  1. Whether the shooter fouled was attempting a 2-point or 3-point field goal
  2. Whether the player fouled committed a boundary line violation prior to the foul
  3. Whether the shot clock expired before the foul occurred
  4. Whether an 8-second backcourt violation occurred before the player was fouled
  5. Whether any unsportsmanlike acts or unnecessary contact occurred
  6. Whether a flopping violation proximate to the called foul should be assessed or rescinded

Notes:

  1. Review can only take place as a result of a personal foul
  2. Review must take place prior to the first free throw being released
