Free throw violation

So it is considered a violation for shooter if it is does not hit the room? Not just a dead ball?

If you don't deem the actions of the defense disconcertion, then the shooter has violated. We don't ignore violations on the shooter in this case. If this was a player in the lane, then we'd ignore the second violation and just call the first. If the violation is on the offense, the ball is dead immediately.

Thanks. That clears things up. Opponent didn't cause disconcertion because it happened after the ball was in flight. Had this happen twice in 1 day. Called it incorrectly the first time. Not that coaches would now the difference anyways. They were MS games.

Yes, if the shooter shoots an airball or hits the backboard only, it's a violation on the shooter.
