Then, offset the number leaving and fighting. 0 for A, 1 for B == 1 penalty for B (here, it's one per difference -- if it was zero for A and 10 for B, it would be 10 penalties).

Do the same for Players fighting, and coaches leaving.

Then, offset the penalties across the categories.

1 penalty for A, 1 penalty for B == no FTs. (in the parenthetical example, it would be 1 penalty for A, 10 penalties for B == 18 FTs for A)

That's what I always thought Bob, but how do you explain casebook play 10.4.5 situation A c)? It says no free throws, go to POI and there are an uneven number of penalties?
