Agree, but what about that once in a lifetime occurrence where the defensive player excitedly jumps the gun (freshman first time coming off the bench to play in a varsity game), can't hold back, and bumps (creates a disadvantage) into the free throw shooter (second of two free throws) while said player is in the act of shooting before the ball is released. It's ruled a foul against a player in the act of shooting a free throw, it's not ruled intentional, nor is it ruled flagrant.
Shot goes in. What's the penalty?
Shot misses. What's the penalty?
Citation please.
10-5 PENALTIES:
2. One free throw if fouled in the act of shooting and two- or three-point try or tap is successful.
5. Fouled in act of shooting and try or tap is unsuccessful:
a. Two free throws on two-point try or tap.
b. Three free throws on three-point try or tap.
What about a one-point try?
