Substitutes Following Technical Foul

Thanks...this is the common sense application. I was just wondering if anyone knew of a rule or case reference to verify.

Further, my crew last night made two subs wait until after the second FT for the T because neither was coming in to shoot. I contend that we should have let them in as soon as they reported properly.

Yes, they should have been allowed in. The rule reference would be simply be 3-1. Sub reports giving number. then 3-2, sub comes in when beckoned. normal substitution. If you have free throws for personal fouls you say he must wait until before or after last free throw. On technical fouls there is no reason not to beckon them unless they had been removed and clock had not run etc…reported late if coming out of timeout etc.

Technical fouls aren't personal fouls. 4-19. that should take care of it. good luck.

By rule, subs should be allowed in anytime they have properly reported and the ball is dead with the clock stopped. The only exceptions are during multiple personal foul free throws (as discussed) and timeouts (reporting after the warning horn).
So, the coach could have subs come in after you report the foul, after the first free throw, and after the last free throw.

That's a good way to look at it...It makes sense that substitutions be allowed at anytime as long as they are properly reported...and just remember the exceptions...FT for personal fouls or after horn on time out.

We didn't handle it correctly last night but it was a minor gaffe. I raised the issue after the game. We talked it through and realized we probably erred. No biggie, but we won't make that mistake again.

Thanks guys.

It is good day because I have learned something new.

Probably the best way to learn most rules. Minor errors that have no real impact on the game.

In the big scheme of things this isn't that huge of a mix up. I wouldn't say anything to my partner until a TO or between quarters in this case. Not like I'm going to change his mind either way.

BTW

NCAAM says for technicals and flagrant you can bring them in before the first or after the last.
