I referenced a Casebook Play that can be applied to the play in the original post. The Casebook Play allows for a technical foul to be assesed. I agree 110% with all those have taken the position that a technical foul should be a very very rarely invoked penalty. And even in the play of the original post I would be very hesitant to assess a technical foul. I would have game management deal with the problem fan. BUT, while the word opponent was used in the Casebook Play RULING, I cannot support awarding a substitute free throw for disconcerting action. And, this is not a case where NFHS R2-S3 can or should be applied.
