Team A leads by 3 with only two seconds left. Team A has only 2 players remaining in the game at this point. The rest are DQ'd. One of these players commits his 5th foul leaving only one player in the game for team A. It is a shooting foul. Now since team A clearly has a chance to win, the game is not forfeited and team B will shoot the free throws. The problem is that team A cannot fulfill the requirement of 8-1-3a during the free throw since it only has one player left. Is this a violation? Is it a T? Is it nothing?

This is a continueing A FT violation until the B free throw shooter makes his (assumed)2 foul shots.In theory,the last team A player can then make a throw in and team B will either miss the last shot or not have enough time to get it off,giving A the win.That's why you don't forfeit and play on in this case.
