heres the senerio at the end of 2nd quarter a three point shooter team A get fouled no time left on clock. I have players go to there benches. they make the first free throw while attempting the 2nd one team A's players and coaches get up walk down the out of bounds side line the shooter is shooting at. is this a violation or not? and where might i find this in a rule book.

Well, the first thing that I'd say is that you're shooting at the wrong basket if team A is shooting at their own end of the court in front of their bench in the second quarter. They should be shooting at the other end- and should have done so the whole first half. What are they doing there?

Secondly, there is no violation for walking OOB down the sideline while a FT is being taken in front of your bench by your own bench members. You can't have any player in this situation in-bounds though, if they're below the free throw line extended or inside the 3-point arc- as perR8-1-5. Is that what you were thinking of?
