About 25 seconds between the time that the ball is put at the shooters disposal and the second free throw is either rebounded or an inbound occurs. If you don't stop the clock during a free throw under those special rules - then the clock runs during a free throw - no exceptions. You and I are in full agreement.  |
Since the state doesn't specify, it's open to interpretation, I guess. I do, however, know what my instructions to the table will be in this instance. I just wish I could get confirmation of the proper interpretation from more expert "table officials".
