• The point of interruption is where the ball is located (and which team has control) when the whistle sounds due to:
  • An inadvertent whistle.
  • A correctable error.
  • A double personal foul, double technical foul, or simultaneous foul.
  • Certain technical fouls (NCAA Men & Pro).
  • Interrupted game
• The point of interruption determines how and where play is resumed.
  • The game will resume with a throw-in to the team in control for double fouls, an interrupted game, and inadvertent whistles.
    • Example: A1 was dribbling the ball in the frontcourt when A2 and B2 commit a double foul against each other while fighting for a post position. The fouls will offset, and the point of interruption is a throw-in for Team A since they had team control when the double foul occured.
  • The game will resume with free throw attempts if a team is entitled to any due to a correctable error.
  • If there is no control by either team at the time, the point of interruption will be an alternating possession throw-in (whichever team has the arrow)
    • Pro games will resume by a physical jump ball between two players, one from each team
