Need help with this one?

Wouldn't the only way to get 3 FTs for the shooter be if it was adjudicated as an intentional foul? If so, someone could easily argue that point....after all, the bench person clearly, and intentionally, performed the entire act.

Seems like the case play is the best route and the reasons could be used even if the player was fouled. Eject the offender, allow 4 FTs, and give them the ball too.

I have a technical foul (for entering the court without permission) and an intentional technical foul (for "contact that neutralizes an opponent's obvious advantageous position"). Because the intentional technical foul was in the act of shooting a three-point shot, it awards three free throws rather than the usual two.

Accordingly:

• The substitute is charged with two technical fouls (one of them intentional) and is disqualified.
• The offending team's head coach is charged with an indirect technical foul. In every state except my own, the offending team's head coach loses the privilege of the coaching box.
• Two team fouls are added to the team's foul count.
• The offended team receives five free throws (two for the technical foul and three for the intentional technical foul), and receives the ball at the division line for a throw-in.

Sorry, but the penalty for a technical foul is ALWAYS two free throws and never one or three. That’s sclearly spelled out in the penalty section for fouls in the rules book. Only a personal foul can result in three free throws. Hence, the quoted play ruling from about twenty years ago.

Good point.
