If a defender violates, you hold your whistle but signal with a closed fist to the side of the pending violation. If the shot goes in, it's nothing. If it misses, but not everything so as to cause a double violation, then another throw is awarded. If the offensive team violates, whistle it dead. If another throw is due, then that one is taken. Please don't use 3 to make 2 terminology. Reminds me of watching Wilt shoot FTs which was worse than watching Shaq.
And never put the ball at the disposal of the free thrower unless there are defenders occupying the closest 2 lane spaces.
