and passes it up to B2. The error is discovered with B2 in possession of the live ball near mid-court. 2.10.1 SITUATION B: The score is tied with three seconds
remaining in the final period. A1 is fouled and is given a one-and-one. A1 misses the first free throw; B1 grabs the rebound
and attempts a long shot. The try is unsuccessful and the teams prepare for overtime. Before the overtime begins, the officials
are notified that A1 should have received two free throws instead of a one-and-one. 2.10.1 SITUATION C: A1 is fouled with one second remaining
in the second quarter. Team A is awarded a throw-in and A1 passes the ball inbounds to A2, the horn sounds
