SITUATION 3: A1 is fouled by B2 and is awarded two free throws. The foul is B2’s fifth foul. The new trail official reports the fifth foul to Team B’s coach. Before a substitute is made, the lead official incorrectly permits A1 to attempt the first free throw. The officials realize the error and huddle to discuss the situation. RULING: The result of the first attempt shall stand. Team B’s head coach shall be notified of B2’s disqualification. Once B2 has been replaced, A1 shall attempt the second free throw. COMMENT: This is an official’s error and not a correctable-error situation according to Rule 2-10. (2-8-3, 4-14-1, 6-1-2c, 10-5-1d)


*This became 4.14.1 SITUATION C in the current Case Book as Z referenced above.

Oh, rest assured I let him know that I was right on this one, and that he made me look incompetent.

Let me expand on this situation with a hypothetical.

Player A1 fouls. B1 to shoot two. A1 then gets a T for arguing. A Coach gets a T for arguing and then says something else he shouldn't, gets a T and is tossed. Do we shoot all those foul shots (8) with the lane clear and then give B the ball?

Yes.

Thanks JR. Some of these are tough to explain at Rec level!

Just explain to whoever asks that if the ball isn't going to remain in play after the last free throw in any sequence is shot, no matter how many FT's are being shot, then you never let the players line up along the lanes. That's fairly easy to understand.

You explained it. I just agreed with you.
