Almost...it would be one free throw instead of two unless the foul was a flagrant foul.

Like JR has suggested, get direction from an evaluator or assigner if you are not sure. Nothing like getting guidance straight from the horse's mouth.

NBA rule is not equivalent -- only one free throw

Section X--Away-From-The-Play Foul
a. During the last two minutes of the fourth period or overtime period(s) with the offensive team in possession of the ball, all personal fouls which are assessed against the defensive team prior to the ball being released on a throw-in and/or away-from-the-play, shall be administered as follows:
(1) A personal foul and team foul shall be assessed and one free throw attempt shall be awarded. The free throw may be attempted by any play-er in the game at the time the personal foul was committed.
(2) If the foul occurs when the ball is inbounds, the offended team shall be awarded the ball at the nearest point where play was interrupted but no nearer to the baseline than the free throw line extended.
(3) If the foul occurs prior to the release on a throw-in, the offended team shall be awarded the ball at the original throw-in spot, with all privileges, if any, remaining.

FIBA rules.

Unsportsmanlike Foul. 2 FT + Poss at the division line. Rule is similar to the NBA rule.

NBA rules: no such thing.

FIBA rules: who cares?
:D

Im quite sure what the book says to do at every level of play. The word "shall" means do it, the word "may" means we have options.

I thought Mr. Adams wanted the game to be called as the rules were written?
How could an assignor say anything different? If rule support doesnt back up that decision in an assignors eyes, perhaps that is not the right league for me. Guess I'll worry about it when/if it comes up in the real world.

My $.02:
College players know how to foul in end of game situations. If they don't, they'll get this call every time.

I have never taken any grief for making this call. In my experience, you get far more grief for close-to-the-line calls you pass on than for the ones you get.

Those who officiate the game using FIBA rules, obvisously... :rolleyes:
Hehehe...

Snaqs, you havent made that call in a mens wreck league then... :D

doesn't it make you mad when you have something in your head and your hands dont do what you tell them! lol

Haven't worked one of those in a while; I don't remember.

Note that he says he has not "taken" any grief for making this call. That's a very different matter than them not trying to "give" him grief. Of course, in men's wreck ball they try to give you grief for every call. And no call. It's almost like giving grief is actually the game, and the basketball part is just something to do between whines. ;)

He probably over-looked you.

Follow the same procedure that you use at a camp when someone gives you instructions that you know are wrong. Listen intently, nod your head in agreement and then ignore the advice when he's out of sight. That saves your friendship and also lets you do what you know is right.

JMO.
