I realize that the way it's written, it's a violation. But IF the FED really intended for it to be a free-throw violation for the shooter to enter the circle once the ball is set on the floor, why do they have us go through this charade of counting to 10? Why not just call it an immediate free-throw violation for delay and be done with it? If the point is to give the offending team time to call another time out, then why not say that?
Although it's technically a violation, something just seems out of whack with calling it that way.
