Technical before OT

[tjchamp]

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.

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.

Sorry I didn't get back sooner, been busy with games. The clock had, in fact, expired. As I read the posts and think about the situation we probably should have put 1 second back on the clock because the foul occured before the clock expired.

Be that as it may, from what I gather, if, in fact, a technical had been called on the coach AFTER time expired the resulting FT would start the OT. If the technical was called while order was being restored and I put 1 second on the clock, allowing the other team to shoot a FT and possibly win the game I would have needed an escourt out of the gym.

That being said, I saw the offended coach the next day while doing more games and he told me, though I don't think I believe him, that they had a video of the game and the FT in question and that I was 1000% right on the call and he apologized for his behavior. I thanked him and accepted his apology.

So, thank you all for your responses. You always see something or experience something in this game that makes you stop and think.
