5 pt. play

[RookieDude]

H.S. Boys Varsity game the other night...
1:20 left in the game. Team A ahead of Team B by 4pts.
Team B had been leading most of the game, but Team A had made a vicious come back to take the lead.
Team B, behind by 4pts, was in their frontcourt working for a shot. I was Lead watching the post players.
Player B1 made a shot attempt behind the 3pt line at about the same time as I had Player A1 shoving B2 in the back, positioning for a possible rebound.
I call the foul, down low...and of course the 3pt attempt went in from the top. If B2 puts these 2 FT attempts in they now lead by 1...possible 5 pt. play...he did, and now Team B leads by 1.

Oh yes, before B2 shot his two FT's, player B1 went to the line instead. We "caught" him and got the right player to shoot. Meantime, the Coach for Team A wants us to give B1 a "T" for trying to shoot a free throw that wasn't his to shoot. I shook my head and continued with the FT's.
After the FT's Coach A called a TO. At this time I took the oportunity to go over and briefly explain to the Coach that player B1 could have been confused because of the whistle during his shot attempt on the 3.
(Probably wasn't confused, since it was a bonus 1-1, but who really knows) No "T"

Team A shoots a couple of 3's, misses, lets Team B tap in a two, on a missed block out, fouls a couple more times, and ends up losing the game by 6.
1st thing I said when I got in the Locker Room after the game was..."Dam*, should have held on the foul down low during that 3pt. attempt, that 5pt play killed um'"

Next day in the local paper...Coach A says "we mounted a great comeback, but that 5 point play killed us."

Were we both right?
