Extra points for T's

Wouldn't matter. The shot came after the horn.

BTW - I was thinking about the "extra" two point rule and it came to me that you would be required to give the extra two points if there was a technical for maybe some profanity by a player who was mad at himself for missing a layup (or some other reason that "barely" calls for a T) but there would not be the extra two points for a flagrant personal foul that could consist of a player punching another player in the mouth (or whatever) during a live ball. Doesn't seem equitable to me. Of course, in that case, you'd also have an ejection, but no "automatic" points.

Also BTW - regarding switching. In games like this, my partner and I usually agree to switch "when it makes sense". I think you guys probably understand that concept.

Local rules, fools and that whole bit...

No I don't. That's very unprofessional. Here in my little corner of Connecticut, in games like this, we switch, "when convenient". Now that's the way that professionals do it. We're what you call experts at games like this.
