NCAA Test Question
 

NCAA:

While Team A is in control, a held ball is called. The possession arrow favors Team A. Following the held ball, Team A is charged with an intentional technical foul, followed by a direct technical foul called on Team B. The official awards each team two free throws and awards the ball to Team B at the division line. Is the official correct?

I'll see if I can get this right without looking it up.

Team B would get throw-in at mid-court as part of the penalty phase of Team A's intentional technical foul. Team B's technical foul is a POI foul, POI being Team B's throw-in. AP arrow would still point toward's Team A.

Sounds right to me.

I agree with everything accept the throw-in at the division line unless, this is where the point of interruption occurred.

Rook, the throw-in at the division line is part of the penalty for the intentional technical foul. That is not a POI administration.

So is this a double technical foul or a false double technical?

What would happen if instead of a direct technical, B1 is charged w/ a intentional technical?

False double.

Then you administer the penalties in the order they occured, with Team A getting the ball at midcourt, when all the dust settles.

Are you sure because the definition of a double foul says that the first foul causes the clock to stop. That did not happen here.

Here are some case plays to help us understand this. I will post some others when I have the time. I'm on my way to officiate a game. :)

This tells you all you need to know:

RULING: Since a single intentional technical foul has been committed, the point of interruption is not in effect. For a false double foul, each foul shall carry its own penalty and each penalty shall be administered in the order of occurrence of the fouls.

Penalty for direct technical is POI. POI in OP's situation is the mid-court throw-in as part of the intentional technical foul administration.

I'm just trying to understand what a False Double Foul is because this play doesn't seem to fit the definition.

The clock was not stopped for the first foul, it was stopped for the held ball. Am I reading the definition wrong? Is the last part of the definition what I'm not understanding?

Don't read it too literally. Basically, it is a false double if the two fouls occur without the clock starting between the fouls.

In practice, there is no need for a false double foul. They're really just seperate fouls that occur with the same time showing on the game clock (but maybe at different absolute times).

Thanks Camron,

That is what I thought a false double would be but I wanted to make sure because of what the definition stated. Is this a rule that they should change the wording on?

Yes, the wording is a but confusing...it is correct but hard to read.
