Proper Procedure
Last night had a situation that we screwed up in, but not sure how we should have corrected it.
I had personal on a rebound, a simple push in the back. The call was made, and as I strolled past the player, he threw a little tantrum that earned him a "T". I briefly chatted with my partners, told him what was happening, then I reported the fouls. At the table I was questioned by the scorekeeper if there were two personals and team fouls. I told her yes, and she informed me it was the player's fifth foul. The coach and the player were right beside me, I indicated to them what was happening and had the clock start the 30 seconds. I turned around, and my partners were shooting the first FT (team was in the bonus). I still had the the disqualified player on the floor.
The kid missed the front end of one on one, and then I got the disqualified player off the floor. We then shot the two technicals.
Often in this situation, there is a bit of discussion with the coach of the offending team at the table, with him asking what his player had done/said and such, and this is what my partners thought was going on.
My question is, should the first FT have counted, or should we have shot it again when the disqualified player was off the floor?
