Free throws with 4th quarter time expired

NFHS, Ohio. Team A down by 2, with the ball and fouled while shooting a short jump shot. Whistle for the foul did beat the buzzer by a fraction of a second but the buzzer sounded and the clock displayed all "0's". Shooter from Team A went to the line with the lane cleared. Made the first. Team B called timeout. Team A missed the second.

If the Team A free throw shooter would have missed the first of two, would you shoot the second? I have looked through the 2019/20 case book and didn't see this addressed. I have asked fellow officials and received a variety of answers from "No you wouldn't shoot it" to "I would ask Team A coach if he wanted to shoot it" to "Yes, you have to shoot it".

No. There's a case play about this I'm pretty sure.

If the points wouldn't affect the outcome, you don't shoot.

From NFHS rule 5-6-2 exception #3: ”...No free throw(s) must be attempted after time has expired for the fourth quarter or any extra period, unless the point(s) would affect the outcome of the game.“

And the accompanying case book ruling 5.6.2 SITUATION E:

”A1 has been awarded two free throws after time has expired in the fourth quarter. Team B leads 62 to 60 and A1 misses the first free throw.

RULING: The second free throw will not be attempted. (5-6-2 EXCEPTION 3)”

Agreed. Note that NCAA is different -- that might be the cause of (some of) the confusion / different answers.

I believe that NCAA only recently made that change. The two levels were aligned on this for many years.
