Another FT Situation
Players are lined up for 2 FTs. Prior to bouncing the ball to the shooter, a player lined up along the lane bends down to tie their shoe. The official administering the FT is waiting for the player to finish with his/her shoe business before making the ball available to the shooter. I suggested that we go ahead with the first of the two FTs and if the shoe is still not secured then we wait on the second FT.
Any thoughts, it seems to me that every time I see this (maybe 3 or 4 this year) the administering official has everyone wait while the shoe is tied. Is it not okay to shoot the first and wait if necessary?
