Had a situation last night where my partner calls a T on a player for taunting. My other partner and I clear the players to shoot free throws. Blue #3 walks with me to the free throw line to shoot. I ask him if he is my shooter to which he replies "Yes". After he poorly misses the first of two, Blue's coach starts screaming "You didn't ask me who I wanted to shoot". As you can imagine, a disucssion followed. We allowed him to change shooters but only allowed a total of 2 free throws.
Now on to the tricky part. Rule 8.3 says "The coach or captain shall designate the free thrower(s)." Since we goofed up and didn't ask the coach who he would like to shoot the free throws, do we allow him to designate a player to shoot 2 more free throws (total of 3)? If so, please cite case book reference (you may have to dig deep in the attic for this one...).
