After the first one was completed (and made, mind you) the horn for the sub was sounded. The coach was giving my partner an earful during her 20 second substitution and we didn't know. So we had to take the point off the board and re-shoot the free throw. Looked awful on our part...  |
Yep. THat's one reason why all officials should pay attention to the table (while not neglecting the other duties) on a foul near the end of the game and why it can be helpful to know who has four fouls.
And, TAKE YOUR TIME.
