If R2 kicks the ball as a form of interference, what is the decision by the umpire?

When R2 kicks the ball as a form of interference, the umpire's decision to declare R2 out and continue play aligns with the standard rules regarding interference during a play. Interference typically involves a player who is not in possession of the ball disrupting the course of the game in a way that affects the other players. In this scenario, when R2 interferes by kicking the ball, it is considered a violation of the rules, thereby resulting in R2 being called out.

This decision upholds the integrity of the game by addressing the act of interference, while also allowing the game to continue. The other choices do not accurately reflect the correct application of the rules regarding interference. For example, declaring B2 out for interference would incorrectly penalize a player who has not committed a violation. Allowing the ball to remain in play and not calling out R2 would ignore the act of interference that disrupted the game. Lastly, awarding F6 a free throw would also be inappropriate in this context, as it does not pertain to the nature of R2's interference.
