The situations that I had when officiating a game was, A girl was shooting a free throw, she took two dribbles and the ball went off her knee, my partner called a violation, is this a violation or not.

Common sense, give her the ball back...

Case book 9.1, give her the ball back. Common sense and rules both say partner was wrong.
9.1 SITUATION: A1, at the free throw line to attempt a free throw (a) muffs the pass from the official and it rolls forward; or (b) accidentally drops the ball before the throwing motion is started. Ruling: In (a) and (b) the official should sound the whistle to prevent any violations and then start the free throw procedure again. |
No, not a violation. Blow the whistle and get the ball back to her. Now, some might say if she steps out to go for the ball then you can have a violation. Yes, this would be a violation. Thats why you want to have a quick whistle to stop play, then if something goofy happens there is no violation.

Okay, give the ball back, but here's the tough one -- does she get another 10-count?
|
Did you think the muffing the ball off her knee was an intentional delay? Like the player that spends 10 seconds to shoot a free throw? I'm thinking not.
Start over from the beginning with a full 10. |

So she gets the same kind of ten count she would have gotten anyway ;)
