Next...rule 5-6-3 exception p/foul would be administered at the end of 4th qtr. if team was down by 1 or 2 pts. right? If what I have described is true does there seem to be a difference between a p/foul vs tech foul and why? Thanks again guys!

First explain how a personal foul could occur after the 4th quarter has ended? I think it would have to be a T.
Secondly, what you wrote above is not the case. The rules says to attempt the free throws immediately and consider them part of the preceeding quarter if they could affect the outcome of the game, unless the game is tied. That covers your senario about a team being down by 1 or 2. If they are down 3 or more the game is over and the free throws are not attempted. If the game is tied the FTs are shot to begin the next period. AND SHOULD BE SHOT AFTER THE INTERMISSION!!!!!
