Free-Throw Violation?

[Jurassic Referee]

9.1.1 specifically states "offical should sound the whistle to prevent any violations". So by rule, violations are possible during either sit (a) or (b), would you not agree?

Sure I'd agree with that. It's got nuthin' to do with what i've been saying though. I'm still waiting, as I have been all along, for you to tell me exactly what violation(s) you are blowing your whistle to prevent?

What and where is the violation if the shooter fumbles the ball to a player on a lane line and the player throws it back to him- and neither player ever stepped over their respective restraining lines- and the shooter still shot within 10 seconds? Exactly what violation are you preventing? Please tell me because I sureashell can't think of one rule on that play that the the shooter or the player on the line violated.

And if the shooter fumbled the ball backwards to a player outside the 3-point line, and the player then threw it back to him--and again neither player ever broke the plane of their respective restraining lines, again please tell me exactly what the violation is? I sureashell don't know. I can't think of any rule that would be broken in that particular situation. I'm always willing to learn though.

To sum up, where exactly is a violation being committed on this particular play(s)? Please cite the violation and the rule covering it. Inquiring minds need to know!

Respectfully.
