Thanks for posting this senerio and forcing me to look it up. If I had seen this in an actual game I would have tried to apply 5.6.2 and end the game with the results of the T. When I saw the reply from JR I thought I had finally caught him in a "learning process", but knowing his reputation for rules knowledge, I knew I had better get my ducks in line before I posted. Turns out I was the one caught in the "learning process".

What a great tool this forum is!

Casebook play 5.6COMMENT B

If a technical foul occurs after the ball has become dead to end a quarter, the next quarter is started by administering the free throws. This applies when the foul occurs even after the first half has ended. It also applies when the foul occurs after the second half has ended, provided the score is tied.

Thanks, that makes sense. I remembered having this discussion with another official a few years ago and I agreed with the OP until I went digging in the rulesbook. I should have trusted I was right in the beginning.
