2. Just a scenario - player shoots at the wrong basket, is fouled, basket is good. What should happen?
3. Watching the K-State v Kansas last night, midway second half. K-State's PG gets fouled hard on a drive, and elbows the offending player, thus earning an "intentional technical" foul. So that negates the first foul? And why isn't this just a technical foul?
4. There's no penalty for a team yelling "foul!" late in the game, correct? My partner was talking about how they couldn't do it and she should have issued a technical; I disagreed and said although it's probably not the best thing to coach, it's no penalty.
5. I did my second JV girls game Friday. During both the soph game and the JV game, the head varsity coach sat at the end of the court and questioned call after call. How do you handle this - do you say anything to him, ignore him? He wasn't rude necessarily; I just heard "travel", "missed that one", "should've been a foul" etc. He actually told me during a timeout he'd gladly take me and my crew back to his town...I guess I'll take that as a compliment.
Thanks!

1. Did OP intentionally throw the ball at his face? If not, nothing. Same could be said about throwing into DP's groin area. Make a decision on the intent of their actions.
2. A player may not legally shoot a ball at the wrong basket, they may throw it at the basket, and if it goes in counts as a goal for the opponent. In your case it is no different than the player passing and getting fouled. Stops play immediately and you shoot bonus if in the bonus; if not OOB nearest spot of the foul.
3. Didn't watch the game but wouldn't "negate" a first foul but since we penalize in the order that they occur defensive team get the ball although NCAA rules differences may come into play.
4. Are they yelling at you to call a foul? or yelling at their teammates to foul? If yelling at you, talk to captain and/or coach. If it continues, then T them up. If they are telling their teammates to foul, the foul should be considered intentional by rule, but personally have never seen an official call it.
5. Ignore the HC, just like any other fan unless they become obscene and need to be removed from the gym.
