Ball comes to rest on the flange.

Ooo, this was SO freaky, it makes me want to go back to Woodstock . . .

We were discussing what the varieties of this would be during free throw shooting between a couple of AAU games and, bongo, 5 minutes into the next game, guy goes up, gets clobbered, ball comes to rest on the flange. We wait, uno, dos, tres . . . five, no basket. Two shots, right? Even if the ball had 'lodged', 2 shots, correct? There's no effective difference between lodging and coming to rest on the flange. In both cases the ball becomes dead.

What we had been discussing earlier was what happens if the ball comes to rest during a foul shot? My personal interpretation (always a good bet, but not infallible, I can't believe that . . .) is that the ball is dead, the foul try is over. If 2 shots, on to the next shot. If one shot, opponents get the ball out of bounds on the endline, in the spot.

Yes?
