Q44 on NFHS test asks whether it is possible to start the second period by administering a penalty for a personal foul? The question caused me to reflect on a game I officiated last year: Start of 4Q - I handed A1 ball for throw-in and started count. B1 pushed A2 who was in position to receive throw in pass. I called intentional foul (personal?). A2 shot two free throws and Team A was awarded ball out of bounds for throw in. We set possession arrow toward Team B. Was that correct?
What if the foul would have occurred before handing the ball to A1? Technical? Did 4th period start when I handed ball to A1 for throw-in? Are all dead balls fouls technical? As you can see the question stirred some memories. Anyone want to illuminate?
