Faked free throw......

[zebra44]

Happened in my BV game last night. Orange #55 shoots the free throw following his made basket, let's just say not perfect form, looked like a Sears catalog going up there. Next trip he is fouled in the act of shooting. On his first attempt( don't ask me why) he jabfakes a shot. Nobody bit and fell into the lane, probably because they were aware that it was the first of two. (He clanked it upon regrouping and shooting it for real). My understanding until I looked it up at halftime was as long as it did not cause the opponents to violate the lane, there was no violation on the shooter. I learned that it is an immediate violation on the shooter for that act regardless of the aftermath. On hi prior free throw and subsequent ones after that, he did not use the fake. I was under the impression that once he had established the non fake as part of his FT routine with his first one of the night, then when he faked to cause such misstep it would be a violation on him. Did not know it was instant whistle.
