How is the T left "to your judgement?" It is required by rule....10-3-9....no discretion at all.....

Sorry I wasn't clear. Whether the T is flagrant or not is left to your judgment.

Got it...I agree with that....

The op does not say it was goaltending just that 'it was sent into the 3rd row'. If the ball was not on it's way down when the block occurred, I would award another shot for the violation and call an unsporting T for the blocked free throw. Not sure if that is correct though.

You need to reread the definition of goaltending. The "downward flight" provision applies only to a try or tap for goal.

On a free throw, any touch of the ball outside the cylinder is goaltending. 4-22

10-3-9: Goaltend during a free throw.
PENALTY: (Section 3) Two free throws plus ball for division-line throw-in.

Exactly...no discretion needed...by rule, it is a T and we shoot two, and give 'em the ball at D-Line...Thanks, BillyMac
