Bottom line, find out how many indirect Ts they hit the head coach with, and you have your answer.  |
I was part of a situation two years ago where nobody knew how many Ts were called.
The visiting HC had a direct earlier in the game. With less than seconds to go, his team throws the ball OOB and he is unhappy about what he thinks is too much time running off the clock. He gets another T and yet one more because he won't stop arguing. He's eventually escorted off the court to prevent a forfeit with a handful of seconds left.
The table is under the impression we have 4 FT to shoot since two T's were called. A1 makes the first shot and misses the second and all of a sudden we have players scrambling for the rebound and fans wondering why the clock isn't running (and we're wondering what happened to the other two free throws we anticipated)
Finally, the timer starts the clock and lets it expire. Needless to say, we had a lot of angry people from the opposition post-game -- partly because we beat them while they were ranked and partly because they disliked what transpired in the final minute.
I thought for sure we'd have a riot and I couldn't wait to get out and head home that night.
