I just looked in the NBA rulebook and couldn't find a citation. Must be in the casebook.
A very noticeable NBA no-call though.....
Watch the players outside the 3-point line on a free throw. By rule(I looked it up), they have to stay behind the line until the ball leaves the FT shooter' s hands. In practice, on almost every FT someone out there is coming in early and getting away with it every time. In their last series, the l'il guard from Orlando(I think) got a key rebound and put-back late in a game when he was 4' over the line before the ball left. In the game last night there was a coupla times that players were way over the line early. That one just never seems to be called, and it's obvious as hell.
EDit: shown on the link supplied above by AllPurposeGamer. It ain't being called!
