(a) Before; or
(b) after releasing the ball, A1 illegally contacts B1. In both cases, the ball goes through the basket.

A1 has committed a player-control foul in both

(b). There is no goal in either case. Player-control foul provisions in
(b) continue until airborne shooter A1 returns one foot to the floor. Team B is awarded the ball for a throw-in at the out-of-bounds spot nearest the foul.
