We shoot 2 and go back to point of interruption.

Well my question is how do you score it in the book? I had scorer count both fouls as team and add the 6th personal foul to the player in the book, so her count would show all team fouls.

Correct?

I've actually seen this happen at least three times in college basketball. Player picks up foul #5 and then receives a T before the officials can report the original foul. Since this happens before the head coach is notified, the T goes against the person and creates a seldom-seen 6th player foul.

{aside} In a tournament under a modified combination of College & NBA rules, I saw a player foul out with 6 fouls and pick up a T right after, so he was disqualified with 7 fouls. {/aside}

LDUB has the NFHS procedure for handling this situation, so I won't parrot it here.

Whether or not the player is bench personnel is only relevant to whether the coach gets an indirect. Either way, the player will get his 6th foul.

It could also happen if the officials aren't notified of the 5th, and play continues giving the fouling player an opportunity to commit another personal foul.

Yes, yes and yes

Yes, player picked up T, before 5th foul was even reported, never mind coach told.

Yes, we did POI, youth rules do not say what to fall back on, so since most of us do girls HS in NY we fall back on NCAA.

and Yes, we did count is at the players 6th team.


thanks guys.
