The warning for delay section uses "and" while the penalty section 10 cites "or".
1. Which is it?
2. Can someone describe the "contact with the free thrower" game action that would precipitate the warning or penalty?
The text book example is when someone steps in and slaps hands with the free thrower. I don't get testy unless this action truly delays the game, such as when it happens just as I'm about to bounce the ball to the freethrower and I have to hold it back. Used to be, some teams always had all their players step in and slap hands with the free thrower. When the Fed cracked down on this, it really did change, and now it's maybe one or two players. Still, if it's one and then the other, and it really does hold back the game, I'll warn quietly once, and then get down to business. I still don't sweat it if it happens while subs are coming in.
