Violation?

to be clear.. if, AFTER the ball is at her disposal (she's spinning it out into the lane) she fumbles it off of her foot its a reset?

also, given the absolute reluctance of so many here to EVER call a 10 seconds on a free throw (which I have had the chance to call 4 times this year, but declined) who would make the call for player stepping over?

I thought about this earlier this year when I noticed Baron Davis making a step forward, catching the ball, then stepping back into his pre-shot routine at the FT line.

I have seen several situations like this in the past and you are absolutely correct, I have NEVER seen an official (nor would I unless it was an excessive amount of time) call the 10 second violation on a foul shooter. This situation where the girl "bounced the ball" back to herself happened in my game today and I was questioned by two spectators on why I didn't call a violation on the shooter? My response was that she was NOT in the commission of her shot when she crossed the foul line, rather, she was in her foul-shot routine. Thanks for the truthful feedback.

The FT line doesn't have a switch where we can turn it on and off (even if our 10 sec. FT time-counters do!). Are the other players along the lane spaces allowed to roam freely while the FT shooter is retrieving their inept "look-at-me-I-can-spin-the-ball-back-to-myself" FT routine? It seems to me if one allows this to become an acceptable routine, you're asking for trouble waters down the road.
The lower-level games are a great place to establish good official, coach and player habits.
Help the newer players learn a respect for the game.

Maybe it's just me, but I would. I don't make the rules I just enforce them. Why do we have a rule book if we don't apply the rules.
