During a boys AAU game last weekend,during a free throw, The ball came to rest on the flange between the rim and the glass backboard. It was the first shot of a two-shot foul.
What is the procedure? (National Federation)

Get the ball down and shoot the 2nd FT. It's simply a miss.

I'm pretty sure this would be the same for NCAA and NBA and FIBA and FBNCNBA ;).

If on anypart of a 1+1 or last of 2 or 3, go to the arrow.

talk about a soft touch!! :)
what would be the appropriate time to wait to make sure it's not going to fall in?

When it comes to rest (stops moving)

And wait a little to see. I blew this once too soon, and it fell off, just as I was at full whistle. What a stupid mistake!!

I assume you mean it was a mistake b/c it was the 2nd or the first of a one & one. You then had to go by the arrow since you blew your whistle. If it was the 1st of 2 then you would just call it an inadvertent whistle.

I had something similar happen recently where the ball nicked the rim but the center thought it missed. The center blew her whistle to call a violation. The ball actually went out of bounds and I was just going to let it go but the trail blew his whistle and called a jump ball. The trail did the right thing because there was not a violation on the shooter. Luckly the arrow was going the other way so the coach didn't raise hell about it (or even know what was going on :)).

This got me thinking.

I'm guessing that the reason there is a jump ball when the ball gets stuck between the rim and the backboard on a shot is because there is no team control, right? If this is the reasoning for it then what is the ruling if it happens on a cross court pass or an alley oop? Still a jump ball?

You'd also call it an inadvertant whistle if the ball fell through the basket. Score the point and play on.

Still a jump ball, unless it is on an in-bounds pass. On an in-bounds pass it is a violation against the inbounding team.

FBNCNBA ????

good point sam!!!
 

i have seen this happen coming from out of bounds, and the couple times it has i have seen it called a jump ball...not realizing it is a violation coming from out of bounds! a lot just put the two together and go with the possesion arrow
