Player leaves court during foul shot

[Nevadaref]

During the dead ball prior to the FT, there is NO RULE whatsoever which prohibits the player from leaving the floor. 9-3-3 is for leaving during a live ball.

If the player does depart during the FT, he could be penalized under 9-3-3. The ball would become dead immediately, even if the try were in flight, due to this specific violation. Therefore, the FT would be cancelled and the 2nd FT would be attempted if the situation involved a 2 shot foul or the opponent would be awarded the ball OOB at the nearest spot to the violation (near the bench in this case) if only 1 FT was being attempted.

That's the super-strict by-the-book call. It seems over-officious to me and I would likely not observe the player leaving during the FT attempt.

This is the gold standard.

So because B1 leaves the floor, A1's FT is cancelled?

Is there anything wrong with players going over to their coach- say behind the ft line so not a violation during a shot? Coach on sidelines giving instructions. If it is the shooter before the fist shot and the refs are ready to go. Or after the first shot the coach gets the shooter to the side while the ref is holding the ball. Cancel the second shot, delay of game?

No, there's nothing wrong with it.

No delay if it's the shooter. Technical foul on the shooter. 8.1.1 Situation B Comment

I see that you bend the rules to justify your interpretations. So the next time you start preaching that there is only the Book way, keep it to yourself.

Unless you are developing, eek, common sense

That is the reason that I put a after writing that I probably wouldn't observe the player leaving the floor during the FT.

Oops, you are correct. I misread the OP. The answer that I gave was for Team B attempting a FT. The by-the-book answer for Team A attempting is that a violation will be called on B1 if he departed during the FT and Team A will get the ball OOB at the spot of the leaving whether the FT is successful or not.

Now let me check with icallfouls and see if I would notice that one.
