But if B1 goaltends and the ball doesn't go in, does A1 get the bonus anyway? And they there is the T shots for any A players, right?

2. If A2 goaltends A1's free throw, it's NOT a technical? That seems weird. Basically from looking at 9.12 Sit B it looks like legalisticly speaking, A can't commit goaltending. "The ball becomes dead when the lane violation occurs and the goaltending is ignored." Interesting.

3. There is no GT on a throw-in since it can't be a try, but there could be BI. Correct?
1. Yes, both violation and a technical foul if the DEFENSE goaltends during a FT attempt. If done on the first attempt of a 1-1, it doesn't matter if the ball goes in or not. You know that the ball becomes dead at the time of the violation and that the point is awarded. The second FT attempt is then awarded due to the first one being credited.

2. Let's look at the definition of goaltending given in 4-22.

"Goaltending occurs when a player touches the ball during a field-goal try or tap while it is in its downward flight entirely above the basket ring level and has the possibility of entering the basket in flight, or an opponent of the free thrower touches the ball outside the cylinder during a free-throw attempt."

Does that tell you why it is not a T?

If you ever see a teammate of the FT shooter do this, then penalize with either 9-1-3 or 9-1-8. One of those two items must have happened. If 9-1-8 occurred, it happened first and is the controlling violation. However, if no one moved their feet beyond the plane (picture the FT shooter standing all the way over on the side such that a teammate standing in a marked-lane space could have his try hit his extended arms), I state that the thrower violated 9-1-3 because the try touched another player before entering or striking the ring, and 4-20-3 states that the FT ends when the ball touches another player.

3. Correct, and you got the proper reason!
