FT - ball gets away from shooter

Tanner, would you call it any different though if the FT shooter lost the ball while dribbling it? You wouldn't re-set that also?

JR,

As I'm reading it, it says drops the ball, as if the player was holding it. I'm probably reading too much into it, however I don't see how dribbling - intentionally dropping the ball - and accidentally dropping the ball are connected.

I thought I remembered us talking about this last year. In regards to the players "show-boating" by going behind his back before the shot. The question that was raised was what if it struck off the back of his foot and went out of the semi-circle. If I remember correctly, I think we concluded that the 10-second count would continue and that if the ball was outside the free throw line extended and outside the three-point arc that a player could give it back to the shooter. However, if it was inside that area or in the lane, it would be a violation.

Anyone else remember discussing this?

Or, it could just simply be said I'm reading too much into it JR, if that's the case... that's all I need!

Thanks again.
