Except that 4-22 specifically says "... or an OPPONENT of the free thrower touches the ball ..."

Good point, Bob. I was assuming that Camron had read the rule, but that's not a valid assumption. Nice catch.
So. . . I was right in the first place, but for the wrong reason?

OK, then what do we have IF a teammate of the FT shooter does touch the ball outside of the cynlinder? The try would end at that point (definition of FT ending) so at a minimum, it would be a FT violation since the try ended without being successful or hitting the rim. Is that all?
As Bob pointed out, it appears it is NOT a GT violation.
