Yup, you're missing reading case book play 9.1.1(b).
"A1, at the free throw line to attempt a free throw (a)muffs the pass from the official and it rolls forward; or
(b)accidentally drops the ball before the throwing motion is started.
RULING: In (a)
and (b), the official should sound the whistle to prevent any violations and then start the free throw procedure again.
Rich done good.
Fwiw, Rich, it's been in the book that way as long as I can remember. I just looked at the 2000-01 casebook, and it's in there.
