I'd handle it just like JR. In fact, I did handle it that way in a college game this season. I was Trail for the FTs and the coach yelled for a violation. My partner comes over and says, it is a violation. I said, "Not until the shooter catches it. I'm 100% sure," and tried to shoo him away so we didn't have the conversation in front of the coach. In the locker room coach's office, where we changed, we talked about it and all agreed that it was not a violation until the ball is at the shooter's disposal; i.e., when he catches it.

Chuck:

You beat me to the punch with your response. I think that we did have a thread about what happens though if a non-shooter along the lane intercepts the L's bounce pass so that he can request a timeout. I took that position that this is a technical foul for delay of game. But I really don't want to get this thread of track so if anybody wants to debate the free throw pass interception in a new thread please do it.
