Technical before OT
Interesting situation last night. Black team is 2 points ahead. Called a foul with probably 1 second on clock against Black as White player was shooting. Wild shot goes in. Tie score and White shoots free throw to win game. White, during FT, while ball is in the air, steps on line. FT attempt goes in, I'm blowing whistle and waving off the score while the place goes wild as White thinks they have won the game. This, by the way, was a 7-8 grade tournament championship. While my partner and I are trying to get order restored the White coach is going balistic. Close to technical but didn't cross the line, IMO. If he had dropped the F bomb and a technical was called, would the resulting FT for black, if made, end the game in Black's favor or would the OT start with Black 1 point ahead?
