Free Throw Situation

[Nevadaref]

Any other situation except the defense committing the only foul, personal or technical, while the FT shooter is in the act of shooting, but the FT isn't in the air yet. Casebook plays 6.7COMMENT and 6.7SitC(last year's book).

Strangely, I was just looking at this stuff last night.
The way I understand it for A1 having started the free-throwing motion, but not yet released the ball is:
1. foul by B1 = continuous motion applies and shot counts if successful, no substitute throw if unsuccessful, unless the official rules the foul to be disconcerting
2. foul by A2 = ball dead immediately, shot does not count if released and successful, substitute throw awarded with lane cleared, then penalty for A1's foul enforced.
3. inadvertent whistle for violation by defense = ball dead immediately, shot does not count if released and successful, substitute throw awarded.
4. double foul by A2 and B2 = ball dead immediately, shot does not count if released and successful, substitute throw awarded with lane cleared, then AP. Note: if B has the arrow and the double foul was near the endline, Team B may run the endline on the ensuing AP throw-in.

Like JR said, the casebook plays labelled 6.7.X are great on all this.
