Situation:   Case Book 6.4.3A
A1 is awarded two free throws and play continues as per any similar free-throw situation.

Ruling: Play of the Week - 11/24/2008
Situation:   Happy Thanksgiving - No POTW

Ruling: Play of the Week - 12/01/2008
Situation: Case Book 9.2.10
B1 is charged with a technical foul and it also results in the official having a team warning recorded and reported to the head coach.
Comment: In situations with the clock running and five or less seconds left in the game, a throw-in plane violation or interfering with the ball following a goal should be ignored if its only purpose is to stop the clock. However, if the tactic in any way interferes with the thrower's efforts to make a throw-in, a technical foul for delay shall be called even though no previous warning had been issued. In this situation, if the official stopped the clock and issued a team warning, it would allow the team to benefit from the tactic.
