Recent situation where with 4 second left, A1 shoots a 3 pointer and B1 fouls him. A1 made the basket. While reporting the foul, B's Asst Coach went to howlin, stop sign given and he ran straight thru it, T was issued.

A1 steps to the line and makes his "And1".
Coach A says A1 will be his shooter for T.
A1 makes them both, and scores 6 points in final 4 seconds of half.
Head coach for B is livid with what just happened and rather than yelling at his Asst, he yells at me. We start second half with 2 freethrows for T.
Guess who Coach A selects as his shooter? Yes he him em both. 8 points in 4 ticks.

This kind of FT shooting is possible, but not common. Coach A told me after the game; "A1 is prob only about a 50% FT shooter, but I had to go with the hot hand".

I know this has nothing to do with 6 players on the court but relates to FT shooting.
