Are there any situations where the ball will not be inbounded at the division line after a technical foul? A friend of mine who coaches junior high girls told me about a situation that happened in a game earlier this week. His team is up 4 and on defense with less than 10 seconds to play. There was a loose ball that resulted in some contact. After the play, his player jumps up and gets in the face of the offensive player. The ref. gives her a technical foul. They shoot the foul shots and give the shooting team the ball underneath the basket. When the coach asked why they were getting the ball underneath the basket, the official told him "they changed the rule this year, after technical fouls, the ball is inbounded where the foul occurred." Another official said that his crew did the same thing the week before. I have looked at all of the penalties for tech. fouls and each says 2 shots and division line throw-in. Is there a situation that I am not familiar with?
