Test results
 

Finally got them back. It seems that the only one that I missed was very similar to a situation we discussed here very recently, one in which I said I refused to consider the possibility of a personal foul during technical free throws. Turns out I should have considered it.


Team A is assessed with a “technical foul”. Immediately after the ball is bounced to B1 at the free-throw line, A2 commits a “flagrant foul” against B2. A2 is disqualified from the game. RULING: The officials will administer 2 free throws to Team B for the “technical foul” followed by 2 more free throws for the “flagrant personal foul”. No players will be allowed along the lane for any of the free throws. Since a “technical foul” was involved, Team B will be given the ball for a throw-in at midcourt on the sideline opposite the scorer’s table.

Was this written by your state?

They got it wrong.

It's a true or false question.

So the answer is false because the throw-in following the FTs has nothing to do with the technical foul and is solely determined by the location of the flagrant personal foul.
Now who was it that wrote that other scenario... :)

Big of you to post this. I will use it to help train some local officials.
We are never too good to learn something.

Well never mind.

While both of these scenarios fall under the "Things I'm confident I'll never see" label, the following occurs to me: At least if we're dealing with a flagrant, the offended team still keeps the ball. At most, the throw-in spot will vary by a few feet. But in the REALLY unlikely situation posted earlier where the T was followed by a personal foul on the airborne shooter, the retained possession by the offended team is pushed aside for no reason other than the sequence of events. I find that disturbing.

The fact that they're getting two free throws is sufficient for me.
