Shooter for pregame technical foul shots

[splitveer]

Pre-game warm-up; player dunks at the 12 minute mark. Coach was informed of the player and that he would lose his coaching box.
10 minute mark; official book is checked and approved.
Start of game; coach of the team who is shooting free-throws wants a substitute to shoot the technical foul shots.
I understand anyone can shoot a technical foul.

Can you substitute for a starter other than for injury before the game starts?? And if so, does the substitute have to stay in and start the game instead of the original starter.

Free throws for a technical foul may be attempted by any player, including an eligible substitute or designated starter. Since a substitute is not eligible after the 10 minute mark, and before the ball becomes live, then I'd say one of the designated starters must take the shots.

Since the tech happened at 12 minutes, the coach had two minutes to change a starter to have whoever shoot the free throws. He didn't do that.

Bryan, look at 3-3-2a. you can change a designated starter to attempt a technical foul free throw. also, split veer, once you bounce ball to free thrower the game has started. another sub can enter the game for another player. the player who was going to start but was removed for the free throw shooter cannot enter until clock runs. thx

the sub who shot the free throws can be removed also.

I'm assuming you're right, and I'm wrong. However, I can't find 3-3-2a. Is it from an older rule book (not the 2014-15)? Or did you mean 3.3.2a, meaning a case play, in which case... is it form an older case book?

EDIT: Thanks to La Rikardo... 3-2-2a

OK.....I have had a thought when reading about the tech foul situation at the beginning of the game.

Does the same player have to shoot both tech foul shots? Or can one player shoot one and then another player shoot the second?

Not sure why a coach would do this, but just want to be prepared. Couldn't find this anywhere.

Thanks

you can have multiple players shoot 2 T's. However then depending on how they substitute the substitution rule will be in effect. Once a player has been substituted out of the game he/she may not return until the game clock has been legally started.

In NFHS, rule book nomenclature is separated by hyphens (-), while case book nomenclature is separated by periods (.). For example, (I'm making this up), case play 1.2.3's primary rule reference is Rule 1-2-3.

Ouch. Back to freshman ball for you. This is a rule that just about every official knows. See 3-2-2a.

While I'm sure just about every official, myself included, knows that even a substitute can shoot the free throws for a technical foul, I doubt that just about every official was aware of how that would work for a technical that occurred before the game started.

I guess the varsity teams on my schedule will suffer... sorry.

Just treat it as a normal substitution situation. A starter has been subbed out, therefore he cannot enter the game until the clock has been legally started.

Yeah, that makes sense. I just wasn't aware of a team being able to substitute a player before the game started/ball was made live. It seemed to fall under the "changing a designated starter" rule. Little did I know it was an exception, just like a player that is injured or whatever.

Plus if he's starting 5 guys that can't shoot a free throw he's got bigger problems then an official kicking a substitution rule.

Wrong on so many levels.
