1) it was a misapplication of the rule (team control) and not knowing the number of fouls. I would think that even if this was a misapplication of a rule and then discovered and realized it still could be a failure to award a merited FT... So it was more failure to award a merited free throw.
2) what they did was went to shoot the ft's (before they got an shots off) and had a T on an assistant, had fans come out of the bleachers so they called the game awarded it to the opposing team and ran off the floor...
Now 2 nit picky question on Nevada's post for discussion
1) The buzzer sounded for the fourth quarter and then they ended up shooting FT's for the correctable error. Is this one where the game ends in a tie and the points then count and go into OT or are you shooting for the win with these shots?
Rule 5.6
Art. 2... Each quarter or extra period ends when the signal sounds indicating time has expired.
There are 4 exceptions and shooting on a correctable error is not one of them....
2) Now I am going to play devil's advocate and ask this question. Specifically related to Rule 5.6 for discussion purposes as well,
If the horn at the end of the fourth quarter has sounded the quarter is over by rule. How can the error be corrected once the quarter is over? If the quarter has ended and the game is over and under what rule would you proceed under to allow the FT's since this is not one of the 4 exceptions to the end of the quarter after the buzzer?
