Greetings!

New to the site -- already addicted!

2 questions:

A) When are properly reported subs beckoned to court when 2 FTs are being administered for a technical foul?

B) Is it allowable for a team to use both baskets for warm-ups once one team has retreated to locker room for last-minute instructions prior to a game? Doesn't rules book state something about warming up at basket opposite the bench prior to game? I see this done all the time but not sure it's technically allowed?

Thank you for any replies!

A) I might be quoting it wrong but it is before the last of the shots that is live. So 1-and-1, it would be the first shot since that could be the last live shot. 2, after the first shot... 3, after the second shot.

B) in NFHS, no they cannot not. In college ball though, I see this done all the time so I'm assuming it is allowed but I'm not a college ref. But once the team comes back out they have to retreat back to their half of the court.

Sorry, I should have specified NFHS in OP...

Nah, most of the discussions with regards to rules is usually NFHS, and sometimes FIBA (which I'm not familiar with). Sometimes College rules come into play, but usually only when someone brings up an NCAA game that was on TV and ask about a certain play or whatnot.

Welcome to the board!

Before the last of the shots that is live?

Let's puzzle on that one a bit.

First the language of that sentence. What the hell does it mean?

Next, which shot on a technical foul is "live?"

Did I not say I probably have the wording wrong? Thank you

had it packed away but I dug the rulebook out. This is what I was trying to say:

3-3-1c:

During multiple free throws resulting from personal fouls, substitutions may be made only before the final attempt in the sequence and after the final attempt has been converted.

Yet the question in the OP remains unanswered.

CAUTION!!!!!

Relying on rules interpretations fabricated by this individual will severely impact your reputation, career and sanity.

You have been duly warned!!!!!

On an early morning crusade?

In A, the subs can be made anytime -- as said, a sub can enter and take either or both technical free throw, so a substitution needs to be legal there.

In B, check with your local authority. Personally, I hate this practice (one day there will be a brawl that comes from this nonsense), but we have no rule against it here, so I just make sure to be vigilant when the other team returns.

I have more interesting questions, like why the teams always run drills into the one spot on the sideline where I want to stand during warmups?

I appreciate the responses. To be more specific: If no one is entering to shoot the throw(s), and there are some players that had properly reported prior to the tech, when should they be beckoned? Before the 1st? Between throws? After the 2nd? We discussed the other night and had different answers amongst my crew... Just want to do it right, in case anything silly happened during the throws, want to have the correct players on the floor; I don't know if it makes sense to bring them in between throws, since the ball will be dead after the second throw? Anyone know definitively? Thanks for the help!

Common practice for me, I usually wait until the final free-throw..

You can bring them in at any time. If one of the subs is for the player who got the T, I get the sub(s) in ASAP to get the problem off the floor.

If not, then I usually wait.

By rule, the requirements for a sub are met.
1. Dead ball
2. Clock stopped.

The exceptions built into the rules don't apply here:
1. reporting after warning horn of timeout or intermission.
2. PF FTs with more shots to follow.

No need to infer anything from the ability to bring a sub in to shoot TF FTs. You just need to realize when the exceptions apply and when they don't.

As has been stated with the full court drills: there's no NFHS rule against it. Your state/conference/governing body may rule otherwise, however.
