A2 releases a three-point try just prior to the horn sounding. Substitute B7 leaves the bench area, enters the court and blocks the shot. RULING: B7 shall be charged with two technical fouls and ejected. One technical foul is assessed for entering the court without permission and one for unsporting conduct. Any member of Team A may shoot the four free throws for the technical fouls. The results of these free throws will determine if the game is over or going into overtime. COMMENT: Two technical fouls must be assessed in this situation. Otherwise, the team committing the infraction would benefit from the act. (10-4-1; 10-4-2)

Does this mean the potential for a 7 point play? The 3 goes in, a bench players comes onto the court (T #1) and takes out the shooter (T #2). Let's just hope the lead doesn't have a rebounding foul underneath while in the double bonus.

I've had the parent on the floor situation (and didn't whack him) and would much prefer that situation to this one.
