20 Years Experience
Chicago, IL
Male, 60
For twenty years I officiated high school, AAU and park district basketball games, retiring recently. For a few officiating is the focus of their occupation, while for most working as an umpire or basketball referee is an avocation. I started ref'ing to earn beer money during college, but it became a great way to stay connected to the best sports game in the universe. As a spinoff, I wrote a sports-thriller novel loosely based on my referee experiences titled, Advantage Disadvantage
Yes, the rule of thumb is that fouls are administered in the order they occurred. In your example, the offended player shoots 2 shots, then the technical foul is shot, then the ball is given to offended team at half court.
The only way technical fouls are not shot is if both teams commit an equal number of technicals and then they are not awarded, they offset each other.

Are you nervous playing organized basketball? The way to calm your nerves and to hone your skills is to play basketball against similar age/skills outside in a park where you just play for fun. That experience transfers to organized games.

Well, in basketball size matters. So do skills. There sre always smaller guards playing at high school, college and pros but at that size you must be quick, and handle the ball well.
Having said that, if you love the game there is always a place to play (intramurals, house leagues, etc.). When i was.in college there was a university intramural league for players 5'9".and under. A guy in my dorm dominated the league ... he was 5'8", could drive to the basket, play the post and dunk. So if you love the game find a place where you can play.
