Technical before OT

If time had in fact expired, isn't this 5.6.2D(b)? You don't know if there is to be an overtime until the T shots have been administered.

Hint: What's the score when time expires in 5.6.2D(b)?

The situation indicates it could be anything from team A down 60-59, to up 61-60 after they shoot their FT's. Same thing here, score is either tied or white is ahead by 1 when white coach gets the T. The only time the free throws for the T were not shot was when the results of the personal foul free throws made the score a 3 point game. That would make shooting T free throws meaningless.

Overtime begins as soon as the 4th quarter ends with the score tied. If the score is not tied, all FTs will be shot to determine whether it should be played or not.

5.6COMMENT B

Still struggling with this. 5.6.2Db indicates a tying free throw is made after the 4th period has ended (A1 was fouled in act of shooting as time expires). It also indicates in that situation, if either free throw for the technical foul is successful, no extra period is required.

In this case, the 4th period is not over until the free throws are completed for the shooting foul. Therefore, any fouls committed prior to the last free throw would be part of the 4th period, not the over time. That's the key difference from the OP.
