Near to the end of the fourth period, Blue 5 secures a rebound. Defender Yellow 10 creates a contact and the referees call a personal foul. As the Yellow team was already in team fouls penalty in that quarter, Yellow 10 was awarded 2 free throws. Article 37.1.1 An unsportsmanlike foul is a player contact which, in the judgement of a referee is: Contact with an opponent and not legitimately attempting to directly play the ball within the spirit and intent of the rules. Outcome: Incorrect decision from the referees. The contact created by Yellow 10 cannot be considered as legitimately attempting to directly play the ball within the spirit and intent of the rules and therefore an unsportsmanlike foul should have been called. Blue 5 should have been awarded 2 free throws with no line-up and the Blue team should have been awarded a throw-in from the throw-in line in their front court. The shot clock should have been switched off as fewer than 14 seconds were remaining to the end of the game.
