Posted this on the other board as well because I want to make sure I get this right if it ever really happens.

Last night, 7th grade boys. Visiting team up by 5 with 10 seconds. H30 (using jersey numbers for a reason) attempts but misses a 3 and V35 fouls him in act of shooting. Kid nails all three free throws, so visitors now up by 2. Visitors inbound to V35 and H30 fouls him while trying to steal the pass, I blow my whistle then see V35 nail H30 with a right cross...TWEET, flagrant T on V35. Since we were not in the bonus we shoot the T. H30 is chosen by his coach and nails them both to tie the game and send it into OT. Visitors win by one on a last second shot at the end of the 3rd overtime. Immediately after the horn, V35 runs onto the court and tries to start a fight with H30. Luckily it was all jawing.

My questions are; If V35 had hit H30 again, would I have had to call another T and have someone from the home team shoot 2 shots. Second, do you look the other way while V coach is ringing V35's neck or do you help him because the kid committed two stupid fouls to send the game to 3 overtimes?

As an aside, I had to give the home coach kudos for his team. They played the entire game (and the OT periods) with only 5 players, and both teams ran all game. When we checked the book in the 4th quarter during a TO, I noticed no player on the home team had more the 3 fouls and trust me, we cut them no slack.
