It goes to show you that errors at the end of the game are more egregious than at other times in the game.

When I help train newbies, and the topic of finishing comes up, I remind them that people mostly remember how you began officiating the game, and how you ended officiating the game.

So what was the proper way to call this penalty? Do you call it as soon as the extra man enters the court after the time out or do you call it after the ball has been whistled for play ???

If you see it when he enters, you send him back. This is not a penalty until the throw in is completed. If you know there are six (or more), don't start play until there are five.

Once the ball is in play, if you notice six, you call it immediately (unless the other team is about to shoot, then you wait a moment).

Why was I thinking there's a case play or interp that says we don't call this unless we catch it after the ball has been inbounded?

Because most times if we catch it before the thrower-in releases the ball we kill the play and fix it even though technically we should call a technical when the ball is at their disposal.

That's probably it.

Help me out here. If I see 6 on the floor before I give the thrower the ball, then I don't call the technical. Tell coach 6 on the floor. Problem fixed. If the ball is live (thrower has the ball) I do call the technical. Is this correct?

You're thinking of the time frame to correct giving the ball to the incorrect team.
