At least I think that is what he's asking.

Also be sure to note that if the ball hits only the backboard you still have a violation. The FT try needs to hit the rim or enter the basket to avoid a violation. Futhermore, as has been noted this violation would result in a spot throw-in from the baseline, lane-line extended. Assuming the FT shooter is standing at the mid-point of the FT line, I usually administer the throw-in on the lane-line extended closest to where I am. I would imagine though that if a shooter took his position on the far right or left side of the FT line, I would administer at the spot closest to where the FT was released.
