Now, a big what-if just for the fun of it on a question that came to mind while considering this topic...
What if the team that is shooting the FTs for a T were to violate while the ball was live for the FTs for the technical foul....to start OT or at any other time.
It could be most any violation....FT violation, elbows, leaving the court, etc. I'm not suggesting these are likely occur or that you would necessarily call them. Just pick one for the sake of discussion.
Each possible violation includes possession to team B as part of the penalty unless there are more FT still due after a FT violation.
Does team A still get the throwin following the T? How is the violation penalized, if at all? Is team A's violation simply ignored or does team A forfeit the right to the throwin by committing a violation?
What if team A fouls while the ball is live (and you still deem in a common foul)? Team B is either in the bonus and is now due FTs or is due possession. If FTs, how is play resumed after B2's FTs? Is it the same as after any other FT...with players on the lane for B2's FTs and team A forfeited the right to the throwin after the T by fouling.
Does a foul/violation that occurs during the FT's for a T negate the possession part of a T and get penalized after the FTs.
What if the above violation was a double/simultaneous FT violation during the shots for the T? The penalty for that is to cancel the shot and go to the AP arrow. What if the arrow is not yet establshed? Did I just find a way to get to a jump ball after having a single T to start the OT?
