FT Shooter Rebound
 

Quick ?:

In what rule set can a FT shooter, after the ball hits the rim, get their own rebound?

I may be victim of a myth, but I didn't think they could.

Once the ball in your scenario hits that front rim, the shooter can come across the line and do anything another player can, including rebounding his own miss and scoring.

Is there any rule set under which the FT shooter cannot get his / her own rebound?

It sounds to me like this is a local rec league rule.

Isn't it true that the restriction to entering the lane applies until the ball touches the ring (any part not just the front) or backboard or until the free throw ends(9-1-4)?

Silly local rules
 

Turns out this is, in fact, one of those silly local rules that is never explained as such.

My daughter's team is at their first out of town tourney, and in the first quarter, one of our girls put up her second free throw. Bounced off the back of the rim, right back at her, and since (for the past 4 years) it has been drilled into their heads that they can't get their own rebound, she ducked out of the way.

Little later, opposing team shooting FT, same bounce, she grabs the board and lays it up. We're baffled, and that's when I posted the question.

Thanks for the quick replies!

Are they shooting free throws from closer than 15 feet? Otherwise, I can't imagine a reason for such an inane rule.

I've seen this rule in little kid leagues where they are allowed to land past the FT line after an attempt. Prevents them from running up and rebounding a miss.

Follow-up
 

The no-rebound deal ends up being our local rule, but we shoot standard FT distance, and can't cross.

Conversely, the league hosting the tournament has a No-Zone Rule(must stay within 6 ft of player you are defending, AND does not apply the 5 sec. closely guarded rule for girls (daughter is 5th grade AAU). Makes for some really sluggish play.

That's specifically why I said "in your scenario."
