An unusual situation

Chew on this idea....

1. A6 is charged with a flagrant T for illegally entering the floor.
2. Since continuous motion applies, B1 was in the act, the ball remains live. A6 is charged with an intentional foul for contacting B1.

I like - kind of a 5-to-make-3 situation going on. All fouls would be technicals (although I'm not sure of a flagrant T for illegal entry, the contact would have to be an intentional (at least) T, giving 3 shots) so the shots can be from any player.

You could stop here with team B getting 2 shots for the T and B1 getting 3 shots for the personal foul plus the ball back.

However, in such a drastic case, I think you could carry it a little further...

3. Since A had 6 players participating, team A is also charged with a team T. 2 more shots.

I dunno on this one. It seems a bit too much like MTD Sr.'s double jeopardy penalties.

In then end, you either call a forfeit for such a travesty, or you make B earn it (perhaps again) at the line while finding a way to give them plenty of FT attempts.

My preference...forfeit.

Mine, too. Just as a quick note to all concerned, a forfeit is recorded as 2-0 only if the team to which the game is forfeited is behind at the time of the forfeit.
