Wonder what the call is on this play?

I only know NFHS rules. If this were a high school game, they should have gone to the AP arrow since the whistle was blown while the ball was in flight, with neither team having team control.

It's good to see young people preparing to be referees.

But if the free throw went in, wouldn't POI be an endline throw-in, as after a made basket?

Why disconcertion? Toss who? I can't see that there was any foul or even any contact at all.

The B player puked on the court. With physiological situations, I got nuttin' usually. Here I might have a re-throw.

The only thing was the player was trying to puke on the ref's shoes and missed! Bad aim.

I can understand treating vomit with the care it deserves and the whistle was blown after the shot, before the rebound so the crew didnt disconcert the shooter.

Can you imagine if the lead slow whistled the play and the rebound went out there to the vomit area and some players fell in it? A 3:00 delay would have been a 20 minute delay as the affected players would have had to get the Silkwood Shower treatment.

I wonder what made him puke.

Prolly some cajun sauce.

Someone told him he got drafted by the Knicks.

I guess somebody missed the play on the phrase "tossing one's cookies".

I think this is most definitely a situation where the official can pretty much use judgement to rectify the situation as needed, if the vomit situation in the official's judgement caused a missed FT, award another. If you judge that the missed FT was in no way related to the vomit then go AP, and if it was a made FT just go POI on the made FT.
