What is the outcome if the ball is thrown into the basket during a throw-in?

If the ball is thrown into the basket during a throw-in, the play is ruled as a dead ball. According to NFHS basketball rules, a throw-in is a method used to resume play and is not designed for scoring. Scoring a basket from a throw-in is not permitted, as the ball must be in play and not under a specific throw-in situation. Therefore, when a throw-in occurs, if the ball ends up in the basket, the play is stopped, and no score is awarded.

This means that while the attempt may seem like a scoring play, the underlying rules dictate that it cannot convert into points, solidifying the result as the ball being dead at that moment. The outcome is clear: there is no score, and the game must continue with a reset in play as dictated by the rules governing throw-ins.
