Sit 2: Team A player A1(a senior) is injured in a car accident before the season starts. The last game of the season A1 returns and enters the game with 1:00 left in the game losing by 20. The team and crowd wants him to score in his last game of his HS career. A1 gets fouled on a try for goal with 00:00 on the clock.
You are the calling official. What do you do?

Sit 1: no shots.
Sit 2: I'll let him shoot.
Why the difference? I care more about compassion and sportsmanship than I do about artificially manipulating the scoring records.
Sit 2 only affects the player involved. Sit 1 affects the current record-holder as well; who surely never had the opportunity to shoot free throws with the game decided and no time on the clock.
