I had a situation the other night where A1 was shooting the first shot of two shot free throw. I handed the ball to A1 in preparation of the free throw. A2 then moves from his lane position to the backcourt. My question is do you blow the shot dead at this point of allow the shooter to attempt the free throw? What would happen if B1 then violates after the shot? Does A1 get to attempt the second shot? My partner blew the attempt dead and gave the ball to team B.

Actually your partner did one thing correct and one thing incorrect.

In the above situation blow ball dead and give A1 their 2nd free throw.

I B1 did the same thing you have a delayed whistle, if throw is good we have nothing, if missed we shoot the 1st throw again.

I agree with Ron: As soon as A2 moves from his spot, blow the ball dead and cancel that shot. But your partner should not have taken away the second shot. As for the second question, it's a bit unclear to me what you mean by B1 violating AFTER the shot. I gather you mean while the ball is in the air and before it hits the rim. If so--as Ron said, delayed whistle until you see if it goes in or not.

As soon as A2 leaves the 3x3 foot imaginary box (with any part of his leg or foot) it is a violation and the ball is dead.

If it is a 1+1 or the last of 2 or 3 shots, B gets the ball. In any other case (on the 1st of 2 or 3, or 2nd of 3), A1 gets to shoot the remaining shots.

I think it's just the foot (not the leg). 9-1-7,8,9.

(Not that I think you could tell if part of the leg was outside the space while the foot was still in it.)
