Did anyone else notice that near the end of the Lithuania-Puerto Rico game today (approx. 11 seconds left), Lithuania attempted a FT with no one in the bottom space to the shooter's right? In fact, there were three players along the lane on the shooter's left and no one at all on the right side of the lane.
This FT happened after a foul in the backcourt by
PR who trailed by about ten and was just stopping the clock. The officials hustled down the court and administered the FT, but the
PR player didn't get there until the second FT.
I was surprised that they did not wait for him. It looked weird.
In NFHS it is a technical foul to not be there in a non-resumption-of-play situation.
