Upstate Scouting Service takes time today to continue our “Ask the Ref” segment featuring Matt Fryer. Matt is a local High School and Varsity official who takes time every few weeks to answer some basic and tough rules questions when it comes to the game of High School basketball.
Q: Can you start a game with 4 players? What do you do if a team has 5 players and then a few of the players pick up a 5th foul? What is the protocol?
A: You can never start a game with 4 players. You have to start a game with 5 players. If the official thinks that the team that is down to 4 or 3 players due to players fouling out of the game can still have a chance to compete and win then the game will go on until the final buzzer of the 4th quarter.
Q: When do you and do not shoot a 1 and 1 penalty if you are the defensive team?
A: The following do not result in a one and one:
– No one and one free throws for the defensive team
– For each common foul before the bonus rule is in effect ( less than 7 fouls).
– Double personal or technical fouls (point of interruption).
– For simultaneous personal or technical fouls by opponents (point of interruption).
– After time has expired for the 4th quarter (or extra period), unless the point(s) would affect the outcome of the game.
– If one or both fouls of a double foul are flagrant, no free throws are awarded. Any player who commits a flagrant foul is disqualified.
One and one penalty shots are awarded:
– For 7th, 8th’ and 9th team fouls in a half for all common fouls.
