Masochistic throw-in question

Are you also saying the teams are now going the wrong direction as well? Then you would have to march everyone to the other lane and shoot the attempted FT there....everything counts as if you were going the correct direction the whole time.

No.

And there are officials who will ignore the rule (or flat out don't know it) and do what this crew did in the interest of doing what's "fair to the kids." Which is a cowardly way to officiate and just compounds the original mistake. I'd be pissed if I were A's coach and we had free throws taken away with no rules support.

And if I were an assigner, I'd suspend a crew that didn't follow the rule.

Really? A 7th grade tournament. Nobody cares, and as an assignor you would be happy to have two warm bodies.

If the foul occurred while "shooting" at the wrong basket, you aren't walking to the other end to shoot unless you are in the bonus.

Not sure where the notion came that the shot was at the wrong basket. Apologies if OP not clear enough. The throw-in was given to the wrong team, in front of its own bench during the second half -- in other words in its front court. FYI

Not true...if the officials allowed the teams to go the wrong direction, everything shall count as if they had gone in the proper direction prior to the discovery of the mistake. As such, if the foul was a shooting foul it would be penalized as such even though it was at the "wrong" basket.

Going back the OP, others have already provided the proper remedy for the situation. It is an official's mistake and not a correctable error.

The rules are flexible....depending on the circumstances, game, and environment you can do "anything" you want. The more structured/important the games the less "flexible" the rules. Do what is expected in Rome. If you don't like it don't visit Rome.
