Question

A player attempts a three-pointer shot and the opponent player commits a foul on him at the same time. What will be the decision of the Referee?

Answer 1

In basketball, if a player is fouled by an opponent while attempting a three-pointer, the referee’s decision is based on whether the shot was successful.

1. If the shot is successful: A successful shot results in three points and one free throw for the fouled player, perhaps leading to a four-point play.
2. If the shot is missed: The fouled player receives three free throws to compensate for the missed attempt.
