When Haynes faked injury at the end of the game to avoid shootng the foul shots, what is the ruling? In the past I think the opposing coach got to choose who shoots the free throws?
GIFY…
RULE 8
Free Throw
Section 1. Free Throw
Art. 1. A free throw is the privilege given a player to score one point by an unhindered try for goal from within the free-throw semicircle and behind the free-throw line.
Art. 2. A multiple free throw is a succession of free throws attempted by the same team.
Art. 3. A free throw starts when the ball is placed at the disposal of the free- thrower.
Art. 4. A free throw ends when:
a. The try is successful;
b. It is certain the try will not be successful;
c. The try touches the floor or any player; or
d. The ball becomes dead.
Section 2. Bonus Free Throws
Art. 1. A bonus free throw is a second free throw that is awarded for each common foul, including loose ball fouls, committed by a player of a team, beginning with the seventh team foul in a half, provided that the first free throw for the foul is successful. (Exception: A player-control or team-control foul, which is not a loose ball foul.)
Art. 2. A bonus free throw is also a second free throw that is awarded for each common foul, including loose ball fouls committed by a player of a team, beginning with the team’s 10th team foul in a half. From this point, two free throws shall be awarded for each common foul, including loose ball fouls (except a player-control or team-control foul, which is not a loose ball foul), regardless of whether the first free throw is successful. (Exception: A player- control or team-control foul, which is not a loose ball foul.)
Art. 3. The team-foul total shall consist of a combination of personal fouls (includes player-control fouls) and Class A technical fouls.
Section 3. Who Attempts
Art. 1. Personal fouls—The free throw(s) awarded because of a personal foul shall be attempted by the offended player, unless one of the conditions of Article 2 or 3 of this section are met.
Art 2. The free throw(s) that were to be attempted by the offended player shall be attempted by that player’s substitute unless no substitute is available, in which case any team member shall attempt the free throw(s) when the offended player is disqualified or ejected or must withdraw because of blood or has blood on the uniform or person, or when a player is withdrawn because of a lost, displaced or irritated contact lens.
Art. 3. When an injured player is unable to attempt a free throw try(s), the head coach from the opposing team shall select one of the four remaining players on the playing court to attempt the free throw try(s).When a foul is flagrant and the injured player is unable to attempt a free throw try(s), the injured player's head coach shall select any player or team member to attempt the free throw try(s). When the injured player is bleeding, the head coach may: 1) provide a substitute for the bleeding player who will attempt the free throw try(s), or 2) request a timeout and attempt to remedy the blood situation. (See Rule 3-6.3.f )
Art. 4. Technical fouls—The free throw(s) awarded because of any technical foul may be attempted by any player or eligible team member on the offended team, who shall be designated by the head coach or captain of the offended team. However, the same player shall shoot both free throws.
