Hello all...
I referee under the international rules in Canada. I had this play occur on the weekend and I had not seen it in my 12 years of refereeing basketball.
Free throw shooter on his last shot, dribbles the ball a couple of times in preparation to shoot. Picks up the ball and places it in his left hand. The Shooter then gathers to shoot and makes a motion with his Right hand to shoot. All players enter the key from the as to anticipate a rebound but the ball remained in the left hand of the shooter.
I called a violation on the shooter for faking a free throw? Is this correct?
Thanks

Yep, I'd call it a fake based upon the highlighted words above. It was his "last shot" telling me that he'd just shot one or two other free throws and this was something he did differently.
