Here's one for the newbies
 

This happened in my game last night.

A1 to shoot first of a 1 and 1. B1 lines up with his foot on the lane line. Partner extends arm out and makes fist to indicate a delayed violation. A1 then shoots an air ball with the ball going directly OOB. What's the proper call?

Would there be a different call if the shot was the first of a two shot foul?

Well then, that's different! Drive on! My bad.

My answer was going to be.....

6-4-5(c) An alternating possession throw-in shall result when:
(c) Simultaneous floor or free-throw violations occur.

...it still is even though a newbie with 1,700+ posts gave us the answer.

Mark: Maybe you could set some parameters as to who qualifies as a newbie the next time you post one of your "newbies only" situations. Gee Welpe, give us a chance. Us newbies have a difficult enough time following the complicated sitchs that are posted and debated by you experienced vets. Mark is trying to help us out here to see if we're actually learning something about the rules and how to properly apply them in a game sitch.

Though I am honored that you consider me a veteran, of my 1700+ posts, almost all of them, prior to this basketball season were in the baseball, football and softball forums.

You actually have been officiating basketball for longer than I have. Despite that fact, I decided to delete my original post (before you responded). Sorry for any inconvenience I might've caused.

Missed the follow-up question....you shoot the 2nd FT.
Caseplay 6.4.3 Situation B.

This was my bad, as I "assumed" Welpe was a basketball vet, and this apparently is not the case.

So, welcome Newbie! ;)

I'm assuming Welpe is a spy from the Football forum until I get proof otherwise.

If I am A1 I am saying that "B1 disconcerted me", thus the shooter violation should be ignored.:D

And I am laughing at you. :)

What would you like produced as proof? :cool:

I'll know it when I see it. :)

You're taking obscurity lessons from my wife I see.

Sorry Welpe....my bad.

Air balling a free throw is a violation, what is the signal? I always see the Officials do the finger pointed in the air twirl.

Isn't a Mechanic for This One
 

Just raise the open hand, air up the whistle, point to the spot of the violation (I just point towards the rim), then point to the spot for the throw-in.
Everyone knows it missed the rim.
The inverted toilet swirl, until it becomes approved, is ridiculous. Probably will be ridiculous if it does become approved.
