Last night, I called in a men's league game. They use Fed rules. On the second free throw, the shooter is bouncing the ball and at the same time bends his legs. Because of this the ball bounces into his shin and away from him. He has to step over the line to recover it. After some discussion, we reset the freethrow and gave him a second chance. Is this procedure correct in high school? NCAA?

No. You should have blown the whistle immediately, prior to the shooter violating. Then give him his 2nd FT. That is per the NFHS Case Book.
I'm sorry if I misrepresented what happened. The fumble occurred before the second free throw. We stopped it immediately, came together, and decided the correct procedure was not to call a violation and let him attempt his second free throw. I am wondering if we were correct. I am also wondering if it would be handled the same way in NC2A. |

But when you wrote, "He has to step over the line to recover it," I couldn't interpret whether he retrieved the ball or he would have to violate to retrieve it. Which is it? |

If he didn't violate by going after the ball, then yes, you handled it correctly.
Yes, you are correct. He did go after the ball. After reading the case play, I realize we should stop the play on the muff and before the violation, but it happened so quickly, we didn't have a chance to do that. Since we didn't do that, by rule, do we have a violation? Or should we go with the common sense approach and readminister the free throw anyway. |

One more thing to add:
Be aware that in a rec league with running clock, he may have done this to move time off the clock. If we're under a minute, I'll get the clock stopped until the ball in rebounded. I think that's case number...someone with a book help me out.

One running clock rule...
Quote:
Here, if a game has a 40 point margin in the second half, the clock becomes a running clock and stops only for time outs, the intermission between periods 3 and 4, and free throws in the last minute of the game (or is it last 2 minutes, I can't remember that part at the moment). Also, if the margin is cut back to 30 or less, we go back to a regular clock.

Re: One running clock rule...
Quote:
The point-differential rule for Michigan will be identical to what was used in 2001-02, and will be used at all levels of play. When a 40-point differential is reached at any time beginning in the second half, the clock will not stop with the following exceptions: • Called time outs; • Injuries; • The end of a period, and; • For the shooting of free throws in the final two minutes of the fourth quarter. |
