Another FT situation

[Mark Dexter]

This comes from a game I had at camp this summer, just now getting around to posting it.

Running clock, team B is down in the 4th quarter by quite a bit, and B's coach already has a technical foul.

B1 fouls A1, and A1 is shooting two shots. No timeout is called, but B's coach has his players come over to the bench to talk. I inform the coach that he has to have two players in the lower blocks before we administer the free throw. He refuses.

*DISCLAIMER* yes - I realize that my partner should NOT have put the ball into play, but he did.

I instantly signaled a delayed violation (as trail), but center realized what happened after the ball had gotten to the shooter, and blew his whistle.

If we catch the mistake, it's a warning (verbal, not recorded) then a technical foul. What, however, happens if you let A1 take the shot? Can we charge the violation as well and give A1 a replacement FT?

And, just FYI, I T'ed the coach because of this, so the whole issue ended up being moot.
