Rules Puzzler: Fouling a FT shooter
This didn't happen, but it seems like an interesting play from a rules exploration perspective...
B has 4 team fouls. A1 is at the FT line shooting a FT. As we sometimes see occur, A1 is offset to one side, not centered on the FT line. B4 is in the lane space closest to the shooter.
As A1 is shooting the first FT, B4 has an arm extended directly out over the lane such that it makes contact with A1's arm during the FT attempt, prior to the release of the FT.
What do you do? What can you justify by rule?
