Substitutes Following Technical Foul

Since a substitute may enter to shoot FT's for a T, would it follow that ANY subs should be beckoned prior to the first, prior to the second, or prior to the throw in at mid-court? It would make sense to allow ANY subs prior to the first FT as that would be a good time for a coach to get a hot-head off the court following an unsporting T.

Had this come up in a Boys V game last night and I don't think we handled it properly. We didn't allow subs until AFTER the second FT because none of them were coming in to shoot FT's and none were replacing a hot-head.

The only rule that says subs have to wait until before or after the final free throw is 3-3-1C. As you point out, that rule says for PERSONAL foul free throws. If you are shooting TECHNICAL foul free throws a sub can be brought in before the first free throw and before the second free throw. no restrictions except if the player had been replaced the clock would need to run etc. ordinary rules.

Freddy is citing the exception to the substitution rule dealing with PERSONAL fouls. If A1 has reported and is at the table, A2 is fouled on the shot and awarded 2 shots but unable to shoot because of injury a sub has to come in to shoot them. Since A1 is already at the table and has already reported before A2 needed to be replaced you can let him in. If A2 doesn't need to be replaced then A1 has to wait until prior to the last free throw or after if made etc. thx
