Free throw misses rim, violation, mechanics?

[Richmyk1]

Once a last free throw misses the rim/ring and does not go in, it is a violation, so how should the officially call it? What are the proper mechanics? Open hand straight up, point to rim, state no rim, point to spot and then point to direction the ball will be going or ??

The official (not officially!!)

No need to do this.

Reverse these two.

1) Whistle with open hand
2) "Violation"
3) "White ball, end line".

And please do not use the "swirling finger" mechanic.

I have zero problems with this. Everyone in the gym knows what it means, and the only issue I've run across, which really isn't one, is that random official bitching that it isn't a mechanic.

While I don't do it, I'd rather that instead of someone blowing their whistle and whisper violation. Then the entire gym is wondering what was called and the crew looks bad.

In my experience, the entire gym is announcing it for us.

Half the gym is chanting "Air Ball!"
