Excessive TO-Free Throws Too Early

That was when a sub for a DQ'd player hadn't yet entered the game.

I disagreed with that interp (but will follow it).

I can see the difference between FTs that *must* be followed by a dead ball and FTs that *might* be followed by a live ball (as in the sub case)

Consider who writes those rulings.
