I was paging through Referee magazine's January edition, in the NASO area, and the following situation was analyzed:
Team A is behind by two in the closing seconds, and attempts a 3-point shot. B6 comes off the bench and blocks the attempt as time expires. The ruling (I believe it was 10.1.6, I may be wrong) was that you can't count the 3, but a technical is given to B6, and two shots are given to team A to attempt to tie the game. Which got me to thinking...
Here's my question. Let's say team A is down by 3, and the exact same thing happens. Then you wouldn't shoot the two technical foul shots, because they wouldn't affect the outcome of the game. Basically, B6 coming off the bench, blocking the shot, and only receiving a technical foul could in essence save the game for team B. Doesn't this seem wrong?
