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

Team A is in the double bonus.  Dribbler A-1 is fouled by B-1 while he dribbles the ball in backcourt.  B-1 objects to the foul ruling and receives a technical foul.  The free throws for the technical foul are given first and are attempted by A-3.  Then A-1 attempts the free throws for the common foul.  No players line up along the lane.  Then it is discovered that the free throws have been attempted in the wrong order.

Handle the situation.


This is not a correctable error situation.  All free throws that were merited have been attempted.  The double bonus free throws were attempted by the correct player.  Play will continue with a designated spot throw-in by Team A at the division line opposite the table.

    Very Interested Play. This Play could happen, and We as Officials should administer this
    situation correctly ( 2-Man or 3 Man Game should confer with each other to get right. )
    Thanks.
