Rules Corner: Shot & Foul: Change due injury & Statistics:

" ...Player A1 is fouled in the act of shooting and is awarded free throws. Due to injury provoked at the contact, player A1 is not able to shoot the free throws:
1) Who determines the replacement shooter for Player 1 ?
2) How the statistician makes the statistical register in this case ? ..."

In all rules except NBA, the coach of Team A makes the decision. In the NBA the opposing team can select a player from Team A if the player is injured but not because of an unsportsmanlike act like the foul itself.

Commentary About the Rule= The injured player may remain in game with a time-out ( Rule 3-3-5, 6 ). If A1 is required to leave the game for blood or injury, the rule permits him to remain in the game if his team calls a time-out ( 60 or 30-second ), and the situation can be corrected by the end of the time-out. Teams may use successive time-outs to correct the situation if permitted by rule and if adequate time-outs remain. Under this rule, if a team desires to utilize a time-out and can rectify the situation by the time the ball will be put back in play, the affected player may remain in the game, and in this case, to shot the free-throws by himself. Naturally the only way a player required to leave the game due to injury or blood can remain in the game is if his team is granted at less one time-out.

eBA Statistical Registration= a received personal foul for A1, a made personal foul for team B player, change in the time determined by the game clock and the free throws, finally, there are registered to the player who shoots them, if this was your doubt
