What would you do? FT situation

[JS 20]

Working a game this past saturday and the coach of the team in question is a highly successful and respected former HS official. Opposing team is shooting 2. I'm the trail, my partner bounces the ball to the shooter. Just as the ball is about to hit the shooter's hands, the defensive player closest to the shooter leaves his lane space and walks towards half court. I signal the delayed violation. Coach goes crazy and says we need to blow that dead and start over b/c the shooter didn't have the ball yet. The shot was good so it didn't affect anything. I'm thinking the black and white answer is that it's a violation b/c the ball is at the shooter's disposal once my partner released it, however from a game management POV, would you blow it dead and start over since he was moving before the shooter caught the ball? Thanks for your input.

I suppose you don't have to, but I would've.

Oops. . .

Ball is at the FTers dispossal when it is caught after the official bounces it to them.
Not sure on the proper procedure, but I doubt I would re-administer just because the defense chose to move after the ball is a split second from the shooter.

Depending on time & score that could be viewed as a "freeze" tactic without using a TO.

Oops. . .

Why is it oops? 8-1 Art 1 says "...the ball shall be placed at the disposal of the free thrower (bounced) by the administering official..."

I'm interpreting that to say that it's at the disposal of the thrower WHEN it's bounced. Is that incorrect? I don't see anything to say it's at the thrower's disposal when they catch it.

Definitions, my friend, definitions. Rule 4 is your best friend on the court.

4-4-7b.

. A ball is at the disposal of a player when it is:

a. Handed to a thrower or free thrower.
b. Caught by a player after it is bounced to him/her.
c. Placed on the floor at the spot.
d. Available to a player after a goal.

When do you start your 10-second count? When the free-throw shooter catches the ball, or when your partner releases the ball to bounce it to the shooter?

IAABO alert! Test question! Test question!

Test question: After the ball is bounced to, but before A1 catches the ball for a free throw, B1 and B2 exhange places on the marked lane space. Official rules this a violation on Team B. Is he correct?
No, for the reason stated above.


I only need 49 more answers for tonight...

I usually start right after I report the foul. I like to keep the game moving.

That's a nice way to keep out of overtime. Don't let him hit that shot to tie the game - call a 10s violation instead!

Did he make it out passed the 3 pt line prior to the shooter catching the ball? If yes, legal play. If no, violation and good call. I'm not blowing this one back, either way; depending on the level.

I like the way this guy thinks.
