Why Does FIBA 17.2.6 apply
I dont see why in the example you described, after foul is blown why 17.2.6 applies. This is a foul, dead ball, throw-in nearest point scenario not an invalid field goal.
Rule 17.2.6. refers to a FT or FG being "not valid".
17.2.6 Whenever the ball enters the basket, but the field goal or the free throw is not valid, the subsequent throw-in shall be administered at the free-throw line extended.
Examples of invalid Free throws
43.2.3. The free-throw shooter shall:
Not touch the free-throw line or enter the restricted area until the ball has entered the basket or has touched the ring.
Take a position behind the free-throw line and inside the semi-circle.
Use any method to shoot a free throw in such a way that the ball enters the basket from above or the ball touches the ring.
Release the ball within 5 seconds after it is placed at his disposal by the official.
Not touch the free-throw line or enter the restricted area until the ball has entered the basket or has touched the ring.
Not fake a free throw.
Examples of invalid Field goals:
16.2.3. If a player deliberately scores a field goal in his teams basket, it is a violation and the goal does not count.
16.2.4. If a player causes the entire ball to pass through the basket from below, it is a violation.
In these cases Throw-in from FT line extended.
There is no example in official Interpretations to offer a definitive answer.
