Intentional FT Violations

NCAA rules, but curious about other levels as well.

H leads V 68-67 with 1.1 seconds left. V2 fouls H1, 2 shots.

H1 misses the first FT.

V anticipates that H1 will try to intentionally miss the second FT and try to run the clock out, so they decide to intentionally commit lane violations over and over until H1 makes the second FT.

In the game where I saw this tried, it didn't end up working. But is this even a legal strategy? How many times can you jump into the lane before you get a delay of game warning/technical?

In soccer, we'd yellow card this strategy as "persistent infringement" and/or "unsporting behavior," but is there a similar rule in basketball?

Thanks,
-DoT

You could issue a technical based on rule 10.1 art 5- allow the game to develop into an action less contest....although the thin line is where do you call this?
I'd probably stop play after the 2nd offense and let the coach know of my intentions if the next free throw results in a miss and an infraction that a T will be called.

If I got to the point where I warned the coach, whether the next free throw was missed or not would not be relevant. T either way if his team violates.
