Illegal/legal sub.

Team A is at the FT line for a 3 shot foul. A1 shoots the 1st FT. B6 then subs for B5. The substitution is complete. i.e. B5 is now sitting on the bench. The officials then assess a T-foul for illegal substitution. Then they shoot the T, then continue with POI.

Coupla things.....

1)Under FED rules, you don't go back to the POI. You penalize everything in the order that they occur. A1 would get his next 2 FT's with no one on the lanes. Then any team A player(s) would shoot the 2 FT's for the "T" charged to B6, followed by an A throw-in at center. The POI was A1 shooting 2 FT's with the lanes filled. No biggie- same outcome but proper rules verbiage.

2) Interesting note...that "T" couldn't be called if B6 was on the court(substitution complete-B5 off) and you then gave A1 the ball for his second FT. Once the ball became live, you can longer penalize the illegal substitution.
