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??

Here it is straight from the Case Book for you, coach.

5.6.2 SITUATION F: Following the final horn in a game which has Team A leading 62-60, the coach of Team A sprints after the game officials and shouts profanity at the referee who has just left the playing court outside the end line. RULING: The referee shall charge the coach with a flagrant technical foul and the results of the two free throws will determine whether an extra period will be necessary. The jurisdiction of the officials had not ended as the referee was still within the visual confines of the playing area. (2-2-4)
