20 Years Experience
Chicago, IL
Male, 60
For twenty years I officiated high school, AAU and park district basketball games, retiring recently. For a few officiating is the focus of their occupation, while for most working as an umpire or basketball referee is an avocation. I started ref'ing to earn beer money during college, but it became a great way to stay connected to the best sports game in the universe. As a spinoff, I wrote a sports-thriller novel loosely based on my referee experiences titled, Advantage Disadvantage
Yes, the rule of thumb is that fouls are administered in the order they occurred. In your example, the offended player shoots 2 shots, then the technical foul is shot, then the ball is given to offended team at half court.
The only way technical fouls are not shot is if both teams commit an equal number of technicals and then they are not awarded, they offset each other.
Share Answer: 
It is based on where the ball was when timeout was granted. Then draw a diagonal from the edge of the free throw line to the baseline sideline intersection. If the ball was toward the backcourt side of this area (trapezoid) then sideline throwin. If inside the trapezoid but not 3 seconds, draw a perpendicular to the endlibe.
Share Answer: 
As an offensive player, you are entitled to only your vertical space. If your elbows are outside your body's vertical space then any contact is a player control foul.
Share Answer: 
No, you never are awarded free throws for player control fouls.
