Did you ask him why the clock doesn't start when the ball is given to the FT shooter?
But seriously, the ball IS LIVE when it hits the rim on a free throw, since it was live even before then. But, of course, that has nothing to do with the clock starting.
I know you know that. I'm just picking on the way you phrased your post.
