When to shoot technical freethrows?

[jTheUmp]

If B is down by more than 2 points, game over, do not administer free throws (unless there are multiple Ts to administer FTs for, the sum of which could cause the outcome of the game to change).

If B is down one or two points, administer the free throws as part of the 4th quarter. Proceed to overtime (or not) as necessary. If OT is necessary, start with a jump ball.

If the score is tied, administer the free throws as the start of the overtime. B gets a throw-in to start overtime.

If B is leading 1 or more points, do not administer free throws. Game Over. GTFO of the gym.

In all cases, I would, at minimum, make a report to my assigner.

If the score is not tied, it's unlikely I would assess a technical foul only because it's pretty hard for a coach to earn a technical and for me to assess one when my butt is jogging out of the gym.

Thanks for the help guys. When I read 5.6b I got it backwards on the statement if the score is tied.

If the score is tied we shoot to begin the OT period.
If B is down 2 or less we shoot right then to see if we need overtime.

I've done it before.

I ended up right in front of the Home bench at the end of a game and we had to exit behind the scorer's table, so I had to go in front of their bench and between the bench and the table to get out. Right after the horn, I start to jog off and he can't resist saying something along the lines of "You guys are horrible/awful". He had been warned for his behavior during the game, but he was too chickensh*t to get the T during the game, so he wanted to wait until the game was over, knowing there weren't any real consequences. I got to the end of the bench, hit the whistle and whacked him and ran to the locker room. Oh and I filed the report with the state when I got home.
