Who shoots the FT's?

Player A1 gets whistled for a push on B1. B1 reacts rather unfavorably, and grabs A1 and tosses him to the ground. Intentional foul. Turns out that the original foul on A1 was his 5th. Who shoots the foul shots for the intentional foul, A1 or his replacement. We let A1 shoot 'em, and I think we got it wrong 🙁

I think I would have a T if what you discribed happen, then anyone can shoot the FTs.

But the play you discribed as happened, I think it has to be the sub if you call a T.

Good question. 🙂

First, let's clarify. This would be an intentional technical foul for dead-ball contact.

Once A1 has his fifth foul, he can no longer be a player and can, therefore, not shoot FT's. If A's FT's were from a personal foul, his replacement shoots. For the T, any player (including the sub) can do so.

Mark is right. A1 has 5 so he is out and cannot participate in any free throws. Since the ball was dead, you can't have a simple intentional on B1. By rule it has to be a technical foul (and if it was really bad, you could eject B1 for a flagrant technical). In the play you describe, it does NOT have to be the sub that shoots the T. Any player from A (except A1 or any other disqualified player) can shoot the technical free throws (including a sub).
