......and any foul on the launch is 3 free throws for the launcher?
I remember 7-8 years ago when I was keeping book during our V boys at a rival gym.
We are tied with 5 seconds or so and make 1 of 2 at the line to go up by one. The second FT (miss) is rebounded by home team and A1 rebounds, turns and throws towards a WIDE OPEN A2 standing at mid court. B1 fouls A1 during the pass. 3 free throws. I remember exact words at the table. "Coach, white is losing with 5 seconds to go. Of course he was shooting a three."
Of course, 2 minutes later he ended up shooting 5.....
