There were a few big clues hiding in this case play, that could lead us to correct answer:
The first was “common foul”. Here is definition of Common Foul, per NFHS Rule 4-19-2.
Note the green highlighted portion.
(2/10)

After reading that Rule, you may have this question: “Then why did the case play say ‘during a try for goal’ if a common foul can’t be committed against a player trying for goal?”. Well, for that answer, we have to read the next line of the case play that says...
(3/10)

“after A1 has completed the ‘act of shooting’”. It’s important to note that just bc A1 is no longer “trying for a field goal” after the act of shooting is completed, the “FG Try” hasn’t officially ended yet. That’s the distinction.
Now let’s explore the 2nd clue...

The 2nd clue in case play is “after A1 has completed ‘act of shooting’”. For this definition we go to NFHS Rule 4-41-1.
Note that the act of shooting ends when “ball is clearly in flight”, BUT also note that it “includes an airborne shooter”.....
(5/10)

So just bc the ball is in flight, doesn’t mean A1 has completed the act of shooting. Let’s go to Rule 4-1-1 (Airborne Shooter). From article 1 & 2, we can gather that if A1 jumped to shoot in our case play, the act of shooting is not completed until A1 returns to floor...

-Since A1 completed act of shooting when B1 fouls A1, that solidifies this as a “common foul”
-Based on “Rule 10 Penalties Summary”, we know no FTs are awarded for common fouls before bonus rule is in effect
-Since the Try by A1 was successful, it will count...
(7/10)

-In addition to the goal being scored for Team A, Team A will also be awarded the ball for a throw-in at the spot out of bounds nearest where the foul occurred, per NFHS Rule 7-5-4

Hopefully this thread helped clarify some of the confusing wording in this case play.

This vid isn’t just like Case Play, but same rules apply.
I’m the T (calling official) in this clip.

-A1 jumps to shoot
-A1 returns to floor
-B1 backs into/displaces A1

I rule Common Foul (non-shooting) on B1 & point to End Line to designate spot for Team A’s Throw-in
