Or do you just blow the whistle for the violation and take away the shot and if there is another shot, shot it or if not give the ball to the other team OOB.

I'm a little confused by the post --
LAST year, the rulng was "blow the whistle and give the ball back." THIS year, the ruling is "immediate violation."
While I'm not sure the current interp is supported by rule, it is what everyone expected the past several times this happened to me -- there was always a bit of discussion when we gave the ball back to the FT shooter.
