Technical and Shooting Foul

[bas2456]

In an intramural game I reffed last night, I encountered a situation I hadn't before.

I called a shooting foul on a play, and then a player on the offending team picked up the ball and chucked it at the backboard, so I T'd him up.

I wasn't sure what sequence should follow, so here's what we did. I figured since a technical is two shots and the ball, I had the player shoot the foul shots first, then the technical shots, then the team got the ball.

Is that correct? The one thing I can think of is to reverse the order of the free throws.

If you're using Fed rules, then yes, you got it right. Shoot the foul shots first, then the two shots for the T.

I'm assuming by Fed you mean NFHS? And yes, we are.

Thanks for the clarification.

Just remember that under NF rules, you administer fouls in the order in which they occurred. That makes it easy.

"Penalize in the order that the fouls happened" is one of those phrases that you should always remember. You got it right (assuming the lanes were cleared for all free throws)! Good call on the T, btw.
