Locked handson free throw?

[wyo96]

7th Grade Girls.(explains a lot!)
I have never seen this one....

Free thrower A1 has the ball and the 10 second count has begun.
B1 and B3 grip and hold hands in front of A2, all three are in marked lane spaces. (if I would have seen it before ball at the disposal, I could have told them not to do it)

I called a lane violation (delayed) throw missed, substitute throw was awarded.

However, on reviewing the Rules, looks like 10-1 Art 10 applies and should be a Team Technical.

Therefore, when seen blow whistle; even if ball at throwers disposal; clear lanes, let A1 finish shooting awarded throws,
then let any Team A member shoot 2,
ball at half court for Team A.

Sounds harsh, but am I reading the rule right?

You mean 10-1- Art. 10.

Red Rover. Red Rover. Send A3 right over.

Seems right to me; not too harsh either. It's a T for a reason.

It's like faceguarding, you really only see the good examples in 7th grade girls basketball.

You see everything in 7th grade girls basketball.

I had a boys "junior varsity" (fifth and sixth grade) Catholic middle school game this morning. Handed the ball to A1 for a sideline throwin. A2 told A1, "I got it", and proceeded to step out of bounds, take the ball from A1, and prepare for the throwin. Somehow, from the deep, dark recesses of my mind, acting on instinct, I figured out that this was illegal and blew my whistle for the violation, after which I proceeded to tell the two boys to never do that again when an official hands you the ball for a spot throwin. First time I called that violation in thirty years. Work enough games at this level and you'll go through every rule in the whole book.
