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.
