NFHS 9-1-1

The try shall be attempted from within the free-throw semicircle and behind the free-throw line.
I've seen it a few times over the years and my only thought has been, "Why the heck would you want to shoot off-center?"

Why even say this? Once you put the idea in the player's head trouble can follow. As for how to handle it, there's nothing in the rule book covering contact with a FT shooter. My first thought would be to invoke 2-3 and call an intentional foul on the defender as well as a FT violation for disconcertion.

Like I said it must have been her sweet spot (6 of 6) at the line. And possibly it gets the defense a little out of sorts and less rebounding for them.
