He got the ball back for his team, when he instructed his player to go stand in the lane, then a double lane violation was called, his team got the ball back. Anymore brain busters. Or is this what you do all day, sit on here and try and put people down and try and pick apart each scenario, you sound like a real winner, do you live with your mom still, oh wait let me guess you pay her $25 a week for rent, and you mow the lawn, keep up the good work buddy. Im sure you are a great official, Im sure that condescending sarcastic personality of yours makes you a pleasure to work with.

Whoa! Where the heck did this come from? Ron's comment about tackling the FT shooter is, in fact, a case where you'd have disconcertion without actually shooting a FT. My question was a genuine one and the response about mind control was obviously in jest. As my daughter might say with her pre-teen coolness: "over-react much?"

Chuck, the original post, is where a player stands in the lane from the opposing team during the free throw and the shooter doesnt shoot because they are confused about what is going on, from what i have been told its a double violation(lane and 10 sec(on the shooter)) and you go to the arrow.
Ok, I guess I can see that. But #1, I can't imagine that strategy actually working. As Dan said, how many of us are going to let it happen? And #2, I can't imagine any coach being that aware of the double violation rule and using it properly in a situation where it really mattered. So I didn't make the connection that you were talking about a coach actually using this exact scenario in a game. Sorry.

I thought I saw this play during the movie Hoosiers, Dennis Hopper tells the kids don't catch yourself watching the paint dry!

I found it hard to believe that it actually worked but he swears he used it on several occasions and it worked. Like i said i was just curious what the actual rule was, and if you guys would let it happen. If a coach told you what he was going to do before he used it, would you let it go?

Was the hole cut out of the bottom of the peach basket yet when he ran this play?

Like i said it was a short story at the end of a clinic, no relation or ties with the coach, i guess i came to the wrong place if i was looking for some reasonable anwers or discussion. From what i understand the guy was pretty accomplished, so take it for what its worth, and say what you want.

Yeah this is reasonable, we can use it as a model in the future.

Why don't you just start over again, we'll forget the entire thing since we're all so reasonable.

Dude, relax a little, would you? You got the answer. It's a double violation. That's the answer. You got some discussion about whether we'd actually let it happen or not, and about how likely the scenario was to actually happen. You also got some goofy comments about mind control and a peach basket. What's the problem with that?

Hang around a little while before you get ticked off. We answered the question pretty quickly and then had some fun, too. That's called conversation.

Geeze Louis, are you a friend of this retired coach or his granddaughter?

IMO this tactic sounds like those twice in every lifetime I need to bounce this free throw off the rim, get the rebound and make the putback with 2 seconds left things we see every now and then. Any coach who puts this on page 2 of his playbook is not doing himself or his players any favors.
