Note that this didn't happen, but became part of a "what if" discussion earlier this week following a game.

- Team A is inbounding the ball under their own basket.
- Team A throws inbound outlet pass to Player A5 in the backcourt.
- Player A5 makes basket on Team B goal

Obviously this is two points for Team B...but what would have happened if a spectator had run onto the court and stopped the play before the basket?

Usually fan or coach interference is a technical and ejection from facility, but that's for interfering with the opponent.

They'd probably just count the bucket and eject the fan. If it were a coach or other player from the bench then a technical would be issued on top of the counted bucket

coach would get to shoot the technical FTs and the fan would have to go tothe table before checking in

Just so I understand better, a fan just runs up and tries to block the wide open layup on the wrong goal?

Techinal Foul on the team and ejection. Regardless, its still interference on the game/unsportsmanlike conduct. The other team gets 2 shots, and possession of the ball.

Team A should automatically lose for doing such a stupid thing. I can understand shooting in the wrong basket at 6, 7, 8 years old, but not in high school. I'm sure it's happened before, but it's certainly highly unlikely to take place.

Probably just as unlikely as a fan running onto the court to reject a players shot.

My main question is how a fan would ever be able to react fast enough to rush onto the floor on an inbounds pass under your defensive goal.

They would simply eject the fan and move on with the game. Same as a streaker in soccer.

Good Question for Mr. Keith Alexander with LHSAA

Player A5 gets two free throws on team B's basket.
