Basketball Officials Exam - Question #6

Play #6 - During the 2nd quarter B3 fouls A2 in the act of shooting a two point goal. After the foul has been reported, Team B is huddling with their coach near the bench. The official directs Team B to put a player in each lane space closest to the endline. When they do not respond, the official bounces the ball to the free thrower and indicates a delayed dead ball violation. When A1 misses the 1st free throw, a substitute free throw is awarded. Was the official correct?

Answer: The official was NOT correct. The resuming play procedure is not used here since there has been no timeout. By rule once Team B was directed to put someone in the first lane space, they must do so without delay. If they do not, it is a team technical foul for delay. A2 would shoot two free throws with no one lined up along the lane, any player or eligible substitute on Team A would attempt the two free throws for the technical foul and Team A would be awarded the ball out of bounds at the division line for a throw-in.
