Test Question #40

It can only happen if the defense does it. This is b/c the ball does not become dead during the FT when the defense commits a lane violation.

If the offense attempted to GT the FT, the play would be dead immediately when the player stepped into the lane, therefore the GT would be ignored. No T.

Actually, I can think of a few ways where it could be possible for the offense to commit a live ball GT on a FT.

If there is a defensive lane line violation, a subsequent offensive player in the lane is NOT a violation. The ball remains live until the try is made or missed. That offensive player could still commit GT.

There are also a few FT shooters who line up non-center on the FT line. It could be possible for a player on the lane to touch the ball without having their feet cross the line before they touch the ball.
