Technical Foul--Overtime

[Camron Rust]

Correct. Once the ball became dead with the shot entering the basket, the score was tied and the 4th period had come to an end with an OT pending. Anything that happened after the ball became dead will be part of OT.

The only time action that occurs after the horn/dead ball will be part of the 4th quarter will be if it is necessary to determine if there will be an OT (score not already tied but could be with the FTs).

Ya I was remembering something to that effect. Couldn't remember if I read it on here or not. Is there an old case play that might apply?

See above.

Thanks JR. I wonder, though, why the discrepancy? In one scenario (score not tied, but outcome pending on the free throws), we attempt free throws before going to overtime. In the other (score tied at the end of regulation), we start overtime with free throws.

Does anyone know the reasoning behind this?

Because as soon as the last period ends with a tie score, overtime starts. When the last period ends without a tie score, overtime does not start.
