Sub to shoot Technical Foul free throws

[Raymond]

Anybody can shoot. See Rule 8, Section 3.

I want to say that a different player may each free throw if so desired, but I can't find anything on that in the rule or case books.

Piggy back side question, when they sub in someone to shoot the free throws for the T do you beckon in all subs waiting at this time?

8-3. Note the specific word "thrower(s)"

Correct in NFHS. Might come in handy if you’ve got a few bench warmers in a game that’s not close who otherwise never get to shoot a FT. I’ve never seen it actually employed, however. I don’t think most coaches know (or care) that you could do this.

In NCAA (M at least, I think both), same player must shoot both (if two awarded) for each TF.

Here is the appropriate passage from NFHS Rules Book from 2010-2011. Rule 8-3 in that book.

The free throws awarded because of a technical foul may be attempted by any player of the offended team, including an eligible substitute or designated starter. The coach or captain shall designate the free thrower(s).

I don't think this citation has materially changed over the years,
The (s) seals the deal, at least for me

Sorry, late to the party. I think Nevadaref is correctly applying the proper interp based on the affirmative mention of ELIGIBLE substitute.

Exactly. This statement doesn't erase other rules. It is just saying subs that could otherwise come in can take the FTs.

Just to add another point to this interpretation....what if the player the coach wanted to designate to take the FTs was coming off the bench and had purple and orange striped tights on, big hoop earrings, an untucked shirt, and an and the likeness of MTD, Sr. tattooed on his bicep? Would you let that player shoot the FTs or would you send them back for being improperly equipped (for the tattoo, of course)?

I already gave the 2 applicable cases that directly answer the cases.

NFHS case 8.2 Sit A: (2 separate shooters for TF FT's is legal)

NFHS case 8.3 Sit: (gotta sit a tick)

Those should Seal the Deal (Volbeat!).

Thanks guys. This kinda went other directions which I've enjoyed reading, but I was positive that this was the case until both officials insisted I could not sub to shoot the FT's which made me doubt my sleep deprived self.

Thanks!
