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

The fourth quarter ends with the score tied at 48.  After the quarter has ended, the coach of Team B is charged with a technical foul for questioning the visual acuity of one official.  The coach thought that a foul should have been ruled on a last second attempt.

Handle the situation.


Since the quarter has ended with the score tied, this technical foul occurred during the intermission between the fourth quarter and the overtime period.  As with all technical fouls that occur during an intermission, the free throws will be attempted by Team A at the beginning of the next period.  After attempting the free throws, Team A will be awarded a designated spot throw-in at the division line opposite the table.  The AP arrow will be set towards Team B’s basket when the ball is at the disposal of Team A for the throw-in.
