Situation 1: A1 is at the F/T line for the last F/T. He "throws" the ball but it richocets off the backboard and returns to him. I called a delay of game violation and awarded the ball to Team B.
Situation 2: Same as in Situation 1 except the ball "skips" off the front of the ring.
A1 questions my cal in situation 1. I explain the ball didn't hit the ring and therefore a delay. But I question my call in Situation 2.
Where in the rule or case book am I covered. I do know that Rule 9.1.4 speaks of the free thrower faking a try, but am unable to find anything else.

You're not covered under any rule to call a delay of game violation in #1. If the free throw doesn't touch the ring, it's simply a violation under rule 9-1-3. In #2, if the ball touches the ring, it's in play.
