Are you saying that the ref can send Team B to the line for freethrows and win the game even after the game has ended?? What if the refs hadn't left yet and were walking toward the door and a player verbally abused a ref?? What happens in those scenrios?? You can't send a player to the line for freethrows can you?? And if you can't do that, how can you justify the same thing before a game?? Just questions about what would happen?? Not questioning your knowledge. just wondering??

Two and a half minutes after the game; I'm in the locker room. If there's a shower, I'm almost in it. If not, I've got my shoes changed and I'm doing a post-game with my partner, maybe even laughting at the coaches and/or fans.
That said, if you're not off the floor yet and a coach comes and verbally assaults you, you can still call the T. The final horn is not a blank check for the coaches. There is a case play on this exact scenario, where a coach whose team just finished regulation up by two approaches the ref and levels some obscenities at him. The ruling is to call the T and shoot the free throws to determine whether overtime will be played.
yes, you can send the player to the line for free throws.
