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.
