No time on Clock Free Throws

[SNIPERBBB]

Might be helpful to read the rules for this situation...

ART. 2

Each quarter or extra period ends when the signal illuminates or sounds indicating time has expired, as in 1-14.

EXCEPTIONS:

1. If the ball is in flight during a try or tap for field goal, the quarter or extra period ends when the try or tap ends.

2. If a held ball or violation occurs so near the expiration of time that the clock is not stopped before time expires, the quarter or extra period ends with the held ball or violation.

3. If a foul occurs so near the expiration of time that the timer cannot get the clock stopped before time expires or after time expires, but while the ball is in flight during a try or tap for field goal. The quarter or extra period ends when the free throw(s) and all related activity have been completed. No penalty or part of a penalty carries over from one quarter or extra period to the next, except when a correctable error, as in 2-10, is rectified. No free throw(s) shall be attempted after time has expired for the fourth quarter or any extra period, unless the point(s) would affect the outcome of the game.

4. If a technical foul occurs after the ball has become dead to end a quarter or extra period, the next quarter or extra period is started by administering the free throws. This applies when the foul occurs after any quarter has ended, including the fourth quarter, provided there is to be an extra period. If there is no way to determine whether there will be an extra period until the free throws are administered, the free throws are attempted immediately, as if the foul had been part of the preceding quarter.

Old fashioned, mechanical, scoreboards could show 0:00 without the horn sounding. Check with the table to make sure that the automatic horn was turned on, and, if so, shoot the free throws with rebounders in place.

It most certainly is relevant: No Time On Clock Free Throws

Or: How is it possible for a player to shoot a free throw with the clock reading 0:00?

It's quite possible in the situation I stated. It's happened to me, more than once, in thirty-two years.

Your example is about whether to have players on the lane or not. It is possible to shoot free throws with 0:00 on the clock whether there is time left and whether the horn has sounded or not. That's what the OP is about.
