In Kansas, that's a warning and a technical foul.

Second, you are the T, bench side during the first throw of a 2-shot FT.

I do believe that would be a live ball situation, but then again....

Please avoid inflammatory language like "stupid" as it has a way of reflecting back.

My mistake. It was a stupid comment.

As is your sitch. But let's play. What I'll do depends on the game scenario and the question. Just as in a dead ball sitch. See...that's why your comment is stupid. Get it now?

What would you do? Call Mistress Francine on your cell for guidance? Make sure you tell her your being a good boy so you don't lose any games.

Anyways, I guess we'll have to wait for you to be out of "time out" to reflect this one back, won't we.

This is just a general rules enforcement question. The situation I was thinking of was a dead ball situation, cuz that's when it happens most often. I actually don't ever recall an AC approaching me to ask a question during live ball. In that sitch, I would most likely T (standing up no-no).
