Play of the Day #162 (2020-21)

      1 Comment on Play of the Day #162 (2020-21)

The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.

Just after the half has ended, the coach of Team A is quite vocal about a possible foul that was not ruled at the buzzer.  A technical foul is ruled against the coach while the players are still on the court.

Handle the situation.


Although the players are still on the court, since the half has ended, the technical foul has occurred during the halftime intermission.  Therefore, the penalty will be administered to start the second half.  Team B will be awarded two free throws and a division line throw-in opposite the table to start the second half.  Since the technical foul penalty includes possession of the ball for a throw-in, the alternating possession arrow will not be switched.

    We, as Officials, need to administer this Play correctly plus make sure the Alternating Possession
    Arrow does not get switched. Thanks.
