Faking a free throw is <b>NOT</b> illegal. It is <b>ONLY</b> a violation <b>IF</b> it makes the opposing team violate. You have <b>NO</b> rules justification to <b>EVER</b> call a violation if the opposing team doesn't violate. A little advice....take it fwiw......you need to quit thinking, learn the rules and then just call the game by the rules. |

9-1-3b: "The free thrower shall not fake a try, nor shall any player in a marked lane space fake to cause an opponent to violate". The "makes the opposing team violate" provision that you mention is applied only to players in the marked lane spaces. The part that relates to the shooter is pretty clear -- "shall not a fake a try". |

IMO the point of that passage is to define the consequences of faking by players during FTs. Clearly (well... maybe not so clearly...) the intent is as JR interprets it. Penalized if you're faking as the shooter OR player on a FT spot AND your fake causes your opponent to violate |

2) There's no substantial difference on the backcourt violation rule in NCAA and FED relating to the play you describe. It's not a violation yet, but will be if A is the first to touch the ball. |

Why would a player "fake" a try; to get the defense to violate. That's not an issue with the current rules. Therefore, the shooter in the OP must have been practicing. |
Quote:
If the FED had wanted different rules to apply to different situations, they would have used separate sentences. It would have read: b) The free thrower shall not fake a try. c) Any player in a marked lane space shall not fake to cause an opponent to violate. There's a reason that only one sentence was used. |

Maybe you should submit a rule change proposal to add a comma. :) |

In my sitch, the fake (or more accurately, the simulation) definitely caused the defense to enter the lane. |
