RULE 8
Free Throw
72. Procedure When Foul is Called
.
Section i. When a personal foul is called an Official shall take
the ball to the free throw line and shall put the ball into play by
placing it at the disposal of the free thrower. The same procedure
shall be followed for each free throw of a multiple throw. During
the free throw, players are entitled to alternate spaces along the
lane toward the free throw circle. On free throws following technical
fouls and double fouls, players shall not line up along the free throw
lane.
73. Player to Attempt Free Throw
Section z. When a personal foul is called, the player upon whom
the foul was committed shall be designated by the Official to attempt
the free throw or throws ; if any other player attempts the throw,
it shall not count if made, and whether made or' missed the ball
shall be awarded to an opponent out of bounds at side line opposite
the free throw line. If the designated player must leave the game
because of injury or disqualification, his substitute must attempt
the free throw or throws. If the player who has been fouled is to
leave the game for any other cause, he shall attempt the free throw
or throws before leaving.
74. Free
Throw Following
Technical Foul
Section 3. When
a
technical foul is called, the free throw may be
attempted by any player of the opposing team.
75. Position of Player Attempting Free Throw
Section 4. The throw for goal shall be made within ten seconds
after the ball has been placed at the disposal of the free thrower at
the free throw line. This shall apply to each free throw.
The Official shall blow his whistle to indicate that the throw may
be attempted. The player who is to attempt the free throw shall
take a position immediately behind the free throw line, and shall
be free to use any system in throwing the ball, but shall not touch
the free throw line or the court beyond the line until the ball touches
the basket or the backboard. If the ball misses the basket and the
backboard and goes out of bounds it shall be put in play by the
opposing team from that point. If the ball misses the basket and
backboard and falls within bounds, no player of either team shall
play the ball, and the ball is put into play from the end line by the
opposing team.
