Now I've done a few tournaments where points for and against mattered in the rankings. I guess my question is in a situation like that should we shoot both free throws because they matter some how?? The only reason I ask is because in a tournament like that I did it by the book only to have the importance of points for and against told to me by both the administrators of the game and the coaches.
I'd say that unless the tournament specifically altered the rules, you don't shoot the FT's. Football has a specific rule stating that you can try the PAT if it affects playoff qualifying, but there is no such provision for shooting the free throws in basketball.
