10.3.6 SITUATION: With 4 minutes remaining in the second quarter, B1 commits
his/her third foul against airborne shooter A1; the try is unsuccessful. Team
B’s coach immediately sends B6 to the scorer’s table to replace B1 after A1’s first
free-throw. B1’s replacement may not enter the game until after A1’s first free
throw. B1, disgusted with the official’s call and realizing he/she will soon leave the
game, goes and sits on the end of Team B’s bench just after the official reports
the foul. RULING: B1 is assessed an unsporting technical foul for leaving the
court for an unauthorized reason to demonstrate disgust. A1 will attempt the two
shooting-foul free throws followed by any Team A member attempting the two
free throws for the technical foul.
