DQ Situation

[Ron]

This one happened to me yesterday.

Tournament final........very close game.......final minutes.........

B1 drives to the basket, and is fouled by A1. B1 completes the free throw sequence, and play resumes. After a couple of trips up and down the floor, A1 drives to the basket, and is fouled. The foul is reported, and we're about to administer the free throws, when the horn sounds. A1, who is standing on the FT line, has 5 fouls.

What happens?

What we did........

My partner and I huddled, and quickly admitted that neither of us knew what was SUPPOSED to happen. We reasoned that no technical could be called, since an officials' error had allowed A1 to remain in the game with 5 fouls. We figured that A1 should no longer be allowed to play, so we had her removed, and allowed the coach of team A to insert a substitute of his choice to shoot the free throws.
