I can't speak for Nevada, but this interp (at least the general outline of it) was relatively easy for me to remember -- we had discussed this play several times over the years with no easy answer. We all wanted "more than one T" but couldn't really find rules support for it. So wehn the FED issued the interp, it was good to see and made an impression.

It's one of the examples used to hint that someone at the FED (or someone who has the ear of the FED) reads this forum.

SITUATION 12: Team B has just scored to go up by three points with time running out in the fourth quarter. Player A1 inbounds the ball to A2 close to the sideline of Team B's bench. A2 releases a three-point try just prior to the horn sounding. Substitute B7 leaves the bench area, enters the court and blocks the shot. RULING: B7 shall be charged with two technical fouls and ejected. One technical foul is assessed for entering the court without permission and one for unsporting conduct. Any member of Team A may shoot the four free throws for the technical fouls. The results of these free throws will determine if the game is over or going into overtime. COMMENT: Two technical fouls must be assessed in this situation. Otherwise, the team committing the infraction would benefit from the act. (10-4-1; 10-4-2)

What if on the attempted block B7 fouls A2?

NevadaRef:

Thanks for digging out the Play. I am getting lazy in my old age, . I wasn't sure as to when B6 entered the court in relation to the shot.
