Hmmm .... but the rules book (4-Bonus Free Throw and "Summary of Fouls") make it clear that the scend throw is the bonus. So, what do we call the first one? Interestingly, I see nothing in the book that grants the first throw (except that you can't have the bonus without it).

Bob,that's why I went to the casebook. 2.6.10A&B both talk about a bonus FT situation on the 7th foul specifically.I can see where you're coming from,but the 7th to 9th have to be something,and it can't be much else but a bonus shot.If you look at CB4.8.2,it says it counts as one of the 7 team fouls to reach the bonus.So obviously,you have a bonus FT at 7 fouls.I think it's just as obvious that it isn't mentioned as a requirement anywhere that the first shot for the 7th foul has to be made before this is considered a bonus situation.Au contraire,AAMF.As I said,semantics,IMO.
