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-5 is fouled in the act of shooting an unsuccessful two-point try.  After the ball is dead, B-5 is charged with a technical foul for unsporting conduct.  By mistake, A-1 attempts the two free throws for the technical foul before A-5 attempts her free throws.

Handle the situation.


Although the free throws have been attempted in the wrong order, this is NOT a correctable error situation since all free throws attempted were merited.  The results of the free throws shall stand.  Play will be resumed with a designated spot throw-in from the division line opposite the table for Team A.
