Had a play last night that is bothering me. Team A is up by 30 with probably 8-9 minutes to go in the game. Team B, #33 is called for a foul by my partner, I'm at lead. He reports the foul, turns to me, we communicate that it's a two shot foul. I step in, announce the two, bounce the ball to the shooter. She bounces it twice and then shoots it and makes it. Now the table buzzes the horn and tells us that was five on #33. Partner tells the player and the coach and has a somewhat long discussion (1-2 minutes) with the coach, coach is saying that the table hasn't been putting the right number of fouls on the board intentionally, but that's another story. After his discussion he comes and asks us what we are going to do about the free throw. We end up wiping it and making her shoot two more, which she cans. Probably if the situation was reversed we let the free throw stands, logic being that the team was down by 30 some and I'm not taking points away from them. Comments....
