Take a look at 7-5-7(b). A team retains the right to run the endline only when the foul is a common foul, and only when the foul or violation would have resulted in a throw-in along the endline. Thus, if the thrower heaves the ball toward the division line and a defender kicks it there, the right to run the endline is lost, because the ensuing throw-in would not be on the endline. Similarly, if the foul by the defense is ruled to be flagrant or intentional, the right to run on the ensuing throw-in (after the free throws) will be lost.
