Player due to attempt the 2nd of 3 FTs with his team leading by 1 and only two seconds left. Teenage spectator from the home crowd gets up, leaves the stands, and walks out the open doors directly under the basket at that end of the gym. The Lead administers the ball to the free-thrower. He has it for a few seconds when the spectator who is now just outside the doorframe bends over and sticks his @ss back towards the shooter.
The officials allowed the FT to continue and the shooter missed.
Wow. Very interesting. Funny in fact, if you're not involved.

That said, if it's how I'm imagining it I'm probably going to stop the free throw and ask game management to deal with the situation, including restricting fans from leaving through doors on the end line while the game is proceeding on that end...
