Technical during free throws
High School varsity game:
Team A is about to shoot the 2nd shot of a 2 shot foul. One of my partners calls a T on the coach for team B. We clear the lane and finish the 2nd free throw of the original foul. We then administer the 2 technical fee throws for Team A and we give Team A a throw in at half court. The T'd coach for team B is sure we screwed up and he wanted a "point of interruption" scenario. Did we do it correctly and does a "point of interruption" scenario apply here? Thanks in advance for your thoughts. |
HS is administer in order of fouls. Finish the 2 shot FT, shoot the T FT, ball awarded to team A, you did correct. POI is for double fouls (common and technical), this is not a double foul.

Great, thank you. I felt we did it right but I left the game doubting myself..
..those darn coaches can do that to us I guess! :-) |

When the "last week" comment comes, I address it and ask for details. The coach invariably omits a pertinent fact from the play. The look on their face is priceless when they listen to me fill in the blanks and then show how the proper ruling was made. ;) |

That being said.....why would the T'd coach for Team B want to have Team A taking a throw-in under their own basket as opposed to a throw-in at the division line??? |

This would be the way to handle the play in NCAA. |

Anytime I have doubt the first thing I do after the game (or at halftime) is pull out the rule or case book. |
"Coach, when you get hired at a college, your hot head will only cost you the shots and not the possession."
Or "Coach, that's the college rule." |
Something in the water?

Sounds like the coach was confusing NCAA & HS rules. All single Techs. in HS are resumed with the offended team taking the ball out at the dvision line.

Not directly related but...
Had a game a few weeks a ago with a coach who can be kind of chirpy but not too bad and usually has a pretty good team. This year his team is struggling and in this game they were shooting very poorly.
We had a wierd play involving an intentional foul (I think) and as I go to explain how we were administering it to the coach he says, "I don't know what the rule is and right now I really don't care. I just want you to tell me how to make a friggin basket." Classic. |
And It May Be True ...
