Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) Scoring In the last 2 minutes of the game, all fouls result in points: A defensive, non-shooting foul results in one point for the offense and the offense retains possession of the ball. A defensive shooting foul that does not go in results in two points for the offense. The defense then takes possession. A defensive shooting foul that does go in the basket will result in three points for the offense. Again, the defense then takes possession. An offensive foul results in one point for the defense and the defense then takes possession of the ball. Note: For fouls on three-point shot attempts, three-points are awarded if the shot is missed, four points are awarded if the shot is made. The two minute rule is in place to prevent intentional fouls and the need to line up for free throws. Remember, the clock does not stop.
