Based on the replies so far, it appears our poor officials may have kicked the call.

This is what ensued: The officials called a 'T' (because the shooter already had the ball?). B1 shot the technical (2 FT's), making both. Team A's lane was then cleared, and A1 shot his free-throw (from the foul), which he missed. The officials then directed both teams to half-court where they prepared to admininster a throw-in for team B.

But, wait there's more! Team A's varsity coach was keeping the home book. After A1 missed the FT, he told the refs they had administered the FTs in the wrong order, that it was a correctable error, that the technicals scored by B should be removed from the book, and both teams be required to shoot again, in reverse order. One of the officials held his arm out to the varsity coach (palm facing), said, "That's enough, coach", and proceeded with the throw-in.

I wasn't sure what the procedure was supposed to be, but felt bad for the refs (that's a rarity!). I heard later that an assignor had been evaluating them. Argghhh.
