A free throw air ball is an ugly thang. It happens more in rec league youngsters, but I've seen Shaq and Big Ben do it in the NBA.

This has been answered before but the rule 9-1-3 that seems to cover this situation has the interpretation somewhat buried in the semantics.

What are the signals and mechanics for this violation?

What if the ball touches only the backboard not the rim?

What would be a good vocal explanation in a gym full of parents who presumably know less about this that I?
