Whistle at End of Quarter Revisited

Say it's the 8th team foul to end the quarter. After the FTs do you all whistle as well?

Not sure if this is just a GA mechanic or a FED, but we put time back on the clock whenever we line up to shoot free throws. If you don't know for sure how much time was left, we generally go with .3 seconds. The point is, you have to have time on the clock when you lineup for free throws. At least that's how we do it in GA. Again, not sure if this is FED or only a GA mechanic.

FED rules don't allow you to put time on the clock unless you have definite knowledge of what should be there. I don't recall seeing the word guesstimate anywhere in the rulebook...

I never said guesstimate was in the rulebook! However, in GA we don't shoot free throws without time on the clock.

I wasn't implying that you said so, but you're state association is essentially saying it. I don't like this rule at all. Without knowing the specifics of your state's rule (only what you wrote), this creates situations in close games where you are potentially punishing the winning team for getting fouled!

hmm...

Airborne A1 releases a shot, then the horn sounds, then A1 is fouled before returning to the ground.

You'll put time on the clock?

No not on that play we wouldn't.
