Late in a close game. Team A awarded 2 free throws. A then calls Time Out.
A ignores first horn, second (offical) horn and beckoning from Referee. Team B all lined up neatly in the free throw lane .... waiting. A still huddling.
I'm administering Free throw. Whats the proper mechanic here?
I placed the ball on the floor at the free throw line and started my 10 count required for shooter to shoot. A trots on floor and shooter picks up ball while his team-mates are still filling in. Ooop's that a problem.
I reach 10 - I whistle and cancel the first free throw. Violation.
Re-set and he makes the second.
How bad did I blow this?
