Since this was roughly 4 years ago, I'm not 100% sure of all the details, but I think there was personal foul called before the visiting HC picked up direct T's #2 and #3. I think the sequence of events was the personal foul, the visiting HC jawing during as the teams were lining up, and then the two direct T's. (A shame my play by play data was lost in a CD failure
)
If the NCAA POI rule was in effect 4 years ago, we would shoot the technical shots and then the personal foul shots. The table crew was expecting six shots. (2 for each T + 2 for the original personal). We shot two (presumably with the lane empty) and then two more with the lane filled. It wasn't until there was playing action on the missed rebound that the confusion kicked in with the table thinking we had two more free throws. The timer/table was frozen wondering what was happening, while players were going for the ball wondering why the clock was running down to zero.
Communication would have definitely helped here.
