Lane Violations
(#1) Scenario: A1 is fouled by B1 as a common foul and Team A is in the 1-1 bonus. (a) After A1 has the ball for the foul shot, the official recognizes that A2 and A3 are occupying the 1st 2 lane spots and (b) After A1 has successfully made his 1st free throw the official recognizes that A2 and A3 are occupying the 1st 2 lane spots. Are both of these scenarios violations? I say 'yes' and A1 loses the 1-1 opportunity.
(#2) Now that the rule change has been made for NFHS to coincide w/the NCAA - may leave the spot on the 'release', may a defender in the Lane spots # 2 perform a 'spin move' once the ball is released? I believe not, since I recall that a rule was made that these defenders must come 'straight in' and not be allowed to go around the # 1 spots.
Rule/Case Book references would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
