Bonus or Spot Throw-in

Team A now has a spot throw in. A3, while attempting to set screen to free A2 for inbound pass levels B3 while ball is in the air after being released by A1. My whistle. Pushing foul on A3. I look at partner and signal we are going to line for bonus FT.

Team A's coach kind of going nuts - but not in a bad way. Requests a time out because he wants a team foul called - and no FT. However, the throw-in had not ended. After TO, B3 is awarded 2 free thows as is beyond the 10 team foul limit. B3 sinks both and B wins by 1.

Overall a great game - unfortunately the father of B3 was waiting in parking lot for us. You'd think it was game 7 of the NBA finals and Tim Donaghy was officiating.

Of course it would be a team foul, what else could Coach A be looking for? Or did you intend to type team control foul?

B3's father should have been happy, his son just won the game.

typing too fast today. I realize that it was not a team control foul as there was no team control established at that point. That is the reason we went to the line. I was trying to get the post typed and was being interrupted by colleague and salesman. Also - it was not B3's father it was A3's father who was upset that I could even make a call like I did at that point in the game.

You mean a correct call? That's typical of a Dad.
