All fouls shall be charged and all penalties identified.

43.2.2

The order in which all infractions occurred shall be determined.

43.2.3

All equal penalties on the teams and all double foul penalties shall be cancelled in the order in which they were committed. Once all foul penalties have been entered on the scoresheet and cancelled, they are considered as never having occurred.

43.2.4

If a technical foul is committed, that penalty shall be administered first, regardless of whether the order of the penalties has already been determined or whether the administration of the penalties has been started. If the technical foul is entered on the scoresheet against the head coach for a disqualification of a first assistant coach, substitute, excluded player and accompanying delegation member, that penalty shall not be administered first. It shall be administered in the order in which all fouls and violations have occurred, unless they were cancelled.

43.2.5

The right to possession of the ball as part of the last penalty to be administered shall cancel any prior rights to possession of the ball.

43.2.6

Once the ball has become live on the first free throw or on a throw-in penalty, that penalty can no longer be used for cancelling any remaining penalties.

43.2.7

All remaining penalties shall be administered in the order in which they were committed.

43.2.8

If, after the cancellation of equal penalties on both teams, there are no other penalties remaining for administration, the game shall be resumed as follows. If at approximately the same time as the first infraction:

• A valid goal or a last free throw is scored, the ball shall be awarded to the nonscoring team for a throw-in from any place behind that team’s endline.
• A team had control of the ball or was entitled to the ball, the ball shall be awarded to this team for a throw-in from the place nearest to the first infraction.
• Neither team had control of the ball nor was entitled to the ball, a jump ball situation occurs.
