My partner has a foul for a 1 and 1, as he reports it, the big kid for the home team walks by and gives a shoulder to the #1 teams' star player. Whack, I T him, now I'm reporting and my partner gets the star player for clapping in the kid's face.

We shot the 1 and 1 with nobody in the lane, then went to the arrow. In discussing it after the game we both thought we could/should have gone 1 and 1, 2 shots for the T, then shoot 2 at the other in for the second T. We thought that the line, "At approximately the same time," gave us an out for how we handled it, but we still had doubts.

[/B][/QUOTE]I kinda like the way that you actually handled the situation. The big kid from the home team initiated the incident. The star player from the other team then retaliated. If you shoot all the FT's for the T's in the order of occurence, then the home team is gonna comes out of the situation with an advantage- i.e. the subsequent throw-in after they shoot the last 2 FT's- even though their player was the one who started the crap. The punishment seems to fit the crime more the way that you actually did it, imo. As Bob pointed out, the NCAA rule using the POI seems to be a much easier and fairer way to handle these calls.
