I know it was wrong but I did it anyway
 

Early in the game my partner blow the whistle for a double foul. Only problem it that the other official has not handed the ball to the thrower-in.:eek: Thus this is a dead ball foul. (If actually a penalizable foul at all). I say nothing and just continue game with POI.
Begining of 4th quarter. Before I bounce the ball the the thrower-in, this same official calls another dead ball foul:eek:. but this is just a single foul. Luckly the foul is on the offensive team (No free throws)
I gather with both other officials an explain the situation. I give him 3 choices.
1-Play on as if a normal foul. Tell table/coaches that the arrow will not change and no free throws.
2-Tell table/coaches that the foul is not applicable since the ball was dead and the action was not Intentional. Thus no foul and back the AP throw-in.
3-Tell table/coach that this is a dead ball foul. Thus Technical foul:eek:.
We went with #1:) No one complained and we discussed the play in the locker room at the end of the game.

At least your partner was good at working off-ball :D

Why ":eek:"? What's the big deal? Just call the foul.

Go with #2 as it was not intentional.

Because it's not the correct call.

Why didn't you say anything? We all have a responsibility to get situationslike this right.

Partner(s) had no idea that there was a difference between live ball and dead ball fouls. The double foul ocured very early in the 1st quarter. He was 'cleaning up the game'. I forgot to discuss the play at half time. I felt it was unique and would not happen again. Game management could have been handled different.

A dead ball foul is not a technical foul?

Not unless it I or F, and it wasn't in the OP.

A dead ball foul is a technical foul. Dead ball contact is not a foul at all, unless ruled intentional or flagrant.

I assumed intentional in the OP; otherwise, there would be no whistle. Is there any other reason to foul someone during a dead ball?

That's the point of the whole thread, methinks. They did it "wrong" in the first quarter, and "wrong" again in the 4th.

Normal throw in jostling, just started early. It happens. Normally, a quick knock-it-off works.

I Think We've Got Them All Covered ...
 

And a live ball, noncontact foul, is a technical foul.
