Hi all, I remember reading in a previous post that if a technical foul is called, then any player (or substitute) may attempt the free throws, and two players can attempt one free throw each (assuming it is 2 shots).

Is this correct? If so, can you please quote which rules you are refering to. I have been looking through my FIBA rule book, and this situation is NOT permitted under these rules. See relevant Articles below.

The reason I ask, is that I am trying to slowly build a list of major/interesting differences between FIBA and NFHS/NCAA/NBA rules. Anyway, here are my refrences:

57.3 When a technical foul is called, the free throws may be attempted by any player of the opposing team as designated by the captain.

The use of "throws" in the plural, and "player" in the singular implies to me that one player must attempt all free throws.

13.1 Definition
A team member is a player when he is on the playing court and is entitled to play.


Here "player" is clearly defined. The previous rule (57.3) states that any player may attempt a free throw. Not any substitute.


Can anyone state the rules that expressly permit different free throw shooters in NFHS or NCAA?
