Free Throw Violation
Ball is given to shooter by ref at free throw line . Girl catches ball, bounces it and loses control. She steps in the lane to retreive fumbled ball. It this a free throw violation?
P.S. this was a 10 year old girl. |
By rule, yes. The L should whistle the play dead before she can go after the ball.

Make sure when you use the phrase "by rule" that you are actually right. This is not a violation. |
Quote:
In the play presented a violation has already occurred prior to the official taking any action. Therefore, by rule, the free thrower has committed violation. Now any decent official is going to bend the rule a bit and simply sound the whistle as quickly as possible and readminister the FT. |

That case play <b>is</b> a rule. It basically says that the FTshooter going to get the fumbled ball would be committing a violation(as per rule 9-1-7). The official should blow the whistle to <b>prevent</b> a violation, and then re-set the FT <b>before</b> the FT shooter actually commits that violation. Iow, BktBallRef was completely right in his statement, <b>by rule</b>. |

How is it a violation? If the free thrower hasn't started the throwing motion it is not a violation, if it was the play would say it was a violation. Where in Case Play 9.1.1 does it say that what happen is a violation??? |

As Z said above though, don't be a plumber. Just re-set the damn thing- especially with 10 year old kids. |
If one of my local ref league refs called this against a 10 year old, I'd smack him (or her, Juulie) upside the head with a frying pan, then make him (or her) sit in a closet reading all of Old Tool's posts while listening to an endless loop of Billy Packer rules comments. :eek:
|
UH . . . I would NEVER make that call in YOUR league . . . I can handle the whole frying pan thing, even reading Old Tool's comments, but Billy Packer . . . NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :D

We seem to have several players locally who are now passing the ball around their body a couple of times before a couple of bounces and then the attempt.
I would be more apt to call a violation on someone doing this who then drops the ball past the line and goes to retrieve it. |

I have to say that the temptation to call it would be very real. Dunno if I could. |
What would you do, as an officiating crew, if the FT shooter decides to go talk to the coach as the L is ready to administer the 1st FT?
The player actually went to the sideline and held a brief conversation with the coach...as the officials were telling him to go back to the line. (I wasn't there, so I don't know how many times the officials had to tell the player...or how long it took the player to go back to the line.) |
