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.  The ball passes through the basket.  A-1 taunts B-1 and is charged with a technical foul for unsporting conduct.  The technical foul is A-1’s fifth foul.

Handle the situation.


The goal by A-1 is good.  A-1 is entitled to one free throw.  However, because the technical foul that was charged to A-1 is the fifth foul, A-1 is disqualified immediately.  The official will notify the head coach of the disqualification.  A-1’s substitute will attempt the free throw with no one lined up along the lane.  

After this free throw, Team B will be awarded two free throws and the ball at the division line opposite the table for a designated spot throw-in.
