2 NCAA questions

[ChuckElias]

1) After a made basket in the last minute of the second half or any overtime period, the clock stops. Despite the fact that the ball is dead and the clock is stopped, no subs are allowed in this situation. However, what if there is something else that delays the resumption of play? For example, the official is called to the table for a question, or the ball bounces into the stands and has to be retrieved. If there is a delay in making the ball alive, can we allow a sub to enter? I don't think so, but I can't find anything that discusses it in the rulebook.

2) If free throws are shot in the wrong order, what can be done about it? B1 fouls A1 and A is in the bonus. B1 curses and is assessed a T. Officials screw up and administer the 1-and-1 first (the order in which they occurred). Then administer the T.

On my test, A1 made both FTs of the 1-and-1. So my answer is that you give the ball to B anywhere along the endline for the throw-in. Treat the situation as if you'd handled it correctly and just resume at (what should have been) the POI. I think that's right, b/c what else can you do? You could cancel the FTs for the 1-and-1 and make A1 shoot them again AFTER the technical FTs. But that seems dumb, since you know who SHOULD get the ball now.

But suppose A1 had missed the second shot of the 1-and-1 and then you shot the technical FTs. What a mess! What should we do in that situation? Besides preparing for the inevitable pulling of our schedule?
