I would most certainly call this if it was a running clock. Especially if it was a bonus situation and the clock didn't stop. I am thinking it would take a good 3 minutes or so to make sure the score keeper had the correct player who committed the foul. Let all of my partners know who the shooter was and how many they were shooting. You'd have to make sure the way was clear before you rolled the ball to your counterparts. Then of course you would probably have to explain to the coach WHY it was a foul, and you may or may not have already sent the ball to your partner. Of course, you can't forget to check on the substitutes, wouldn't want one sneaking in on ya. Then make sure everyone is lined up and everyone, not just on the court, but everyone know that we are in the bonus. Double check to make sure everyone is positioned legaly, than administer the free throw.
Now if the clock were to STOP, then NO foul play on!!! Good advice for summer officiating!@
