Ask...in this order...your partner, the table and then the kids. Usually the kid who is supposed to shoot will step up. If they don't that means they're a lousy FT shooter.

So they didn't step up to the line. Anybody oppossed to picking someone and making them shoot? this would take it out of the shooting teams'/coach's hands to pick the best shooter. At least it would be random.

What other option is there? (Asking the other team's coach isn't one of them. And there is no IR even if it is there.)

I think most officials have probably "lost a shooter" some how, some way during their career.

I can't believe you guys couldn't get a player to fess up. I guess we have been persuasive enough when this situation has come up...I suppose if you couldn't get an answer from the shooting team...maybe you could ask the person that got called for the foul who they fouled.?

"Psst -- hey, who were you guarding?" (assuming that it wasn't a secondary defender, or a scrum-on-a-rebound foul, etc.)

In NCAA, you can use the video monitor to determine who the shooter should be.

It happens more than once in a career. It's why the NCAA allows the officials to go to the monitor -- it happens to them, too.

Happened to me this season and, fortunately, we figured it out pretty quickly.
