Whack at end of 4th Qtr

[pfan1981]

The Technical foul is how you begin overtime??? For some reason I thought that a Technical foul at the end of the game, could decide the game and not force overtime?

My thought would be that this encourages coaches and players to keep their cool at the end of a close game.

That's only if the game is over and the points from the free throws would have an effect on the outcome. Ex: The winning team does something unsporting after the horn.

If the score is tied and the TF happens after the 4th quarter ends, the foul will be enforced to start overtime.

If the score is NOT tied, the TF becomes part of the 4th quarter. The shots are attempted if they could affect the final score.

So, if the team is leading by 1 and the coach is whacked after the buzzer, the free throws are part of the 4th, and his team can lose in regulation.

But if the game is tied and the coach is whacked after the buzzer, the free throws are part of OT, so his team can't lose in regulation.

Strange but true, right?

Please, read 5-6 Exceptions 3 and 4. And Case Book 5.6.2 has several scenarios that may be of interest.

True so if you had a guy that was automatic from the line you would perhaps prefer to be down by 1 then tied.

As long as you have faith in the other coach blowing the game for his team by getting a T.

I was saying in the event of the T being given you would prefer to be down one then tied. Of course you wouldn't want to be down one and hope for the T.

The proper wording to use is "than tied," not "then tied."
