dblref, Dont take this wrong ..but stop trying to read so much into the rules. I know guys around here who try and read too much into the rule and well it gives them heart pains...

You have to score or ball has to hit metal before FT ends (and you quoted what constitues when a FT ends) otherwise it is a violation. Take all the extraneous what-ifs out.
