Right or Wrong? Technical or not?
This happened a game I had last week:
Team A is ahead by 4 points with thirty seconds to go.
A1 is fouled. I report the foul and Team A calls timeout.
Out of the timeout, I am tableside and notice the Lead is about to administor the 1st FT and A2 is at the line. I immediatley blow my whistle and point to A1 as the shooter, not A2.
At this time, A1 - without hesitation walks to the line and A2 - also without hesitation walks to the his spot on the lane. I even thought I saw a smirk out of Team A coach. Nothing else was said, because I caught it before my partner even bounced the ball to the shooter.
Should this be a technical? Or just play on? I really thought the coach was in on it and was a designed act.
By the way, A1 made both shots and they won the game by 5 points.
