just another ref Anybody ever see/call a foul after the horn committed against a player other that the shooter?
Yup. Was working a game VG (2 man) earlier this year. End of regulation. Visitors make a free throw with 2 seconds left. To go up 2. Home team has already had their last time out, steps out of bounds scrambling to set a desperation play. Throws a half court pass to a healvily denied player at half moving away from Visitor goal. She catches and can barely maintain balance, no chance she's going to gather and heave in time. Home team defender bodies up and the home player goes down because of her lack of balance combined with the contact. Whistle blows, horn goes. We are in the penalty and home is shooting two with no time on the clock.
Home kid makes both and sends it to OT. They lost in double in OT.
SO not to hijack the OP, but if the foul is a DQ foul (5th, etc) can the coach get his/her 30 seconds before the free throw shooter takes shots?
