offensive team too many players on free throw lane

[ridavis13]

A1 is at the free-throw line for one shot. B5 and B4, both in the lane spaces nearest the endline, B3 and B2, along with A5,A4 and A3 line up along the free-throw lane line for the free throw. The officials do not notice that team A has too many players lined up along the free-throw lane line. A1's shot is missed, A3 snares the rebound and lays it back in for two points. At this point, one of the officials awakens from his slumber and realizes the play. Result?
A. Wave off the basket and line up the players so A1 can attempt the shot with only 6 players on the lane line;
B. Wave off the basket and go to the alternating possession arrow;
C. Count the basket and ignore the mistake;
D. Correct the play before the next dead ball.

Rule 2-10 Article 1 explains what is correctable. This does not fall into any of those. Play on and try not to let it happen again. It should have been noticed by the officials before the ball was at the throwers disposal. That would have been preventable officicating.


If it wasn't it was a violation and the whistle should have been blown, cancelling that free throw. The shooting tam knows they are allowed only two in the lane. Violating that is not the officils responsibility. The officals only need to have the first wo sports occupied by the non-shooting team, unless it is under a reumption of play procedure.

9.1.2 sit. B regarding improper free throw lane alignment, states that, "the free throw has ended and the improper alignment is ignored."

4-10-3 The free throw ends when the try is successful, when it is certain the try will not be successful, when the try touches the floor or any player, or when the ball becomes dead.
