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
This is one of the 5 correctable errors in the rule book when recognized before the next dead ball, but the remedy is to correct the error on the free throw, but lt keeps the subsequent results. If A2 would have made the free throw it could have been reversed, but in this case no free throw needs to be taken down and subsequent results stand. A3s basket counts. Ball gies to B.

It is a judgement call. If hitting the ball, alters the shooters arm trajectory yhen no foul. But if the defender swipes wildly and would have hit the shooter anyway, then possibly a foul.

I am going to allow the other team a movement toward the basket, but as soon as they reverse or dump out i stop the play, UNLESS the downed player is in immediate danger.
Share Answer: 
Once a violation, always a violation. The referee should hold a fist straight out indicating a delayed violation. If the free throw does not go in, it is shot again.

Violation.Thrown in for opposite team at previous throw in spot.
Share Answer: 
Well, the game is final when the officials leave the confines of the game. Since any post game technicals will not affect the score, they are not enforceable. So poor behavior after the game is under the purview of state specific rules or bylaws.
