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

A-1 is fouled in the act of shooting.  After the foul has been reported, A-1 is standing near the division line receiving instructions from his coach.  A-1 remains there after being directed to step up to the free throw line by the administering official.

Handle the situation.


A-1 should be charged with a technical foul for delaying the resumption of play.  This is not a situation where a warning is administered to a team.
