If you make the FTs, then what is the disadvantage? The rules allow for you to get FTs with no one on the line, with no one else around the lane to make FTs. Anyone can shoot the FTs that is in the game and then you move on. You miss the FTs, then you consider it a disadvantage. But as shown, getting the ball at half court gives you many options and if you run a play right you might get a very good shot. Life is not always going to be fair and if you cannot make FTs, you have nothing to complain about in this situation.

Peace
