6 players on the court - what would you do?

It happened on the front end of 2 FTs. Sure it's a live ball, and I hope that I'm quick enough to think to myself to "notice" to infraction during the dead ball period following the first shot. Seeing how nothing happens to the ball after the first shot, other than it being dead, I guess the disadvantage to B is that A has one more player on the court that could commit a free throw violation, and hence ruin their first shot.

But to call a T. No way. I don't care if I'm being evaluated. I'm certain that there will be other things in my game, more legitimate, that an evaluator will comment on.

Mike,do you really think that NOT giving B two extra FT"s,plus a possession,isn't really putting them at a disadvantage? If B loses the game by a point,are you telling me that your evaluator isn't gonna mention that little fact to you?Do you really think that the B coach isn't gonna be writing a 10 page diatribe on this,if he loses?Do you still believe in the Easter Bunny?

I don't think that anyone on this board(except for maybe a few closet sociopaths)really want to call a T in this case.I'm guessing that the great majority(and I'm one of them)really hate the idea of having to call one.The problem is the rulebook doesn't give us the option of NOT calling one,unless you're quick enough to play with the live ball/dead ball aspect.Even then,you're still screwing B.JMO.
