We of course had the lane cleared because we thought we were just suppose to shoot the Technical Foul shots. It was after the shots that we realized we were suppose to shoot the 1 & 1. So of course, we had already shot the T shots and I told the coaches that this was a "correctable error situation" and we will not shoot the 1 & 1 with the lane cleared again. A1 made the first one, and made the second one. Then we gave the ball back to A and we went from there.

It did not go over well, but it was the correct way to handle it. And if anyone is still confused, this is under Rule 2-10-1a: Failure to award a merited FT.

But normally you should shoot the fouls in the order in which they happen. And if we were aware or the table informed us in time we would have shot the 1 and 1 first, then the T second.

I love this game
Gee,Rut,guess who quoted the following over on the Mcgriff board?
Qoute-"I disagree completely.These situations happen for the most part because officals fall asleep.If you keep focus,it is very difficult to find yourself in these mistakes.
For examples of correctable error situations:
1)failure to award a merited free throw.You can easily prevent this by just knowing how many fouls you have on the board and what kind of foul.
Dead ball fouls are the time you should do the most officiating.These situations do not just happen,and if they do the problem is YOU,not the people around you.
Yes,these situations can just happen,but not without help from the officials.It is your job to run the game.If you cannot run the game,maybe you should not be out out there." End of quote!
The winning responder gets to do girls' games for the rest of the year.Sorry,Rut,the devil made me do it!:
