Can't find ruling... hiding under my nose...?
 

Okay... it is in there somewhere, I'm sure... however, I can't find the NFHS ruling.

If the ball... after a free throw attempt... does not touch the rim (ie., airball and not a made swish) then it is a violation, right?
If it only touches the backboard then that is a violation too... right?

Anyway, I have looked through NFHS Rules Book 4-20, 8, and 9-1 and cannot find a description for this violation.

Could someone quote page and verse for me and confirm that it has been hiding under my nose...?

Thank you,
Paul

I had the same question not long ago. Go here to find the explination.

Violation ???
 

Only for the shooter, not for rebounders along the lane lines.

1 shot...wait til it hits....

Lane player enter upon contact of rim/backboard....in this case it only hits backboard...TWEET...shooter violation, must make contact with the rim.

Oh, I see it now. Peaking from behind the "He/she shall throw within 10 seconds..." :D

So, if there is a delayed lane violation by defense and free throw misses the rim and contacts only backboard then it is a free thrower violation and:
1) if it was the first attempt of a two/three shot foul, then we move on to second/thrid shot with no re-attempt; or,
2) if it was the last attempt or first of a one-and-one, then it is still a free thrower violation and ball is put underneath for a defense throw-in...?

Reading the rules for content is fun.

Thanks,

It's a double violation. Go to the arrow.

And that one was hiding from me too !

Peaking out from Rule 9 Penalties: (Section 1) #3 ("If there is a simultaneous violation...")

Thanks !
