Question 18

Player A1 will shoot one and one free throws. The basket scored does count. Play will be resumed as with any other free throw. 2.12.5.a pg 35

Question 19

Player B2 is fouled by A2 with 7:30 on the game clock in the second half. B2 goes to the free throw line and shoots the first of a one and one bonus. She makes the first free throw. The Coach of Team A then receives a technical foul. B2 shoots another free throw and makes it. It is then brought to the official’s attention that the foul called on A2 was Team A’s 6th team foul. What is the ruling?

Answer 19

The first free throw by B2 does not count. IT is necessary for the officials to determine if the second free throw was the second part of the one and one bonus or the first of two Technical foul shots. If it was a technical foul shot, which it should have been, it will count. If it was the second free throw of the one and one bonus, then it will not count. Team B would then be awarded 2 free throws for the Technical foul and would receive the ball out of bounds at the POI closest to where team foul #6 occurred.
