Forced Lane Violation

[kdays78]

Ok a coach asked me this question as a what if this last weekend (not during a game)

Scenerio:

Team A up by 3 points with 3 seconds left in game. Team B is fouled, and there shooting the bonus.

B1 makes 1st (down 2 with 3 secs) so they plan to miss it, and go for a tip back. Well since team A knows this they step in the lane to cause a lane violation. A delayed signal is given, and the shot is missed so they get another. This keeps happening over and over until B1 finally makes it, or it just keeps going frustating the officals, and fans beond belief..

Can a delay of game be called? Can anything be illegal about this?

IS there a rule to cite on this?


Thanks for your help

It's deja vu all over again.

We've discussed this before, I think. I can't remember if there's a case play, but I know you can call a T for unsportsmanlike or for outside the intent of the rules or something. Hmmmm... I suppose I"d better go look it up...

Yeah, Juulie, about 10 hours ago in a post down below.

Ugh, sounds painful.

I think I'm leaning towards ignoring the violation unless it puts the defense into a rebounding advantage. In that case, warn after a couple, then T if they do it again.

It's déjà vu, or déjà vu all over again, which is sort of like (déjà vu)², isn't it?
