On every free throw that has ever been attempted (except when Wilt Chamberlin used to back up - run - jump - and dunk his FT's), the shooter has bounced the ball over the FT line. I would not calling it "leaving"....I would call it "normal"....

btw...DON'T catch the ball as on official during the game. It will make your life A LOT easier...(if for no other reason than figuring out how to resume the game... )
