The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.
During the first quarter A-5 is observed to have her jersey out when she approaches the free throw line to attempt two free throws. A-5 is unable to correct the situation.
Handle the situation.
A-5 will attempt the free throws with no players lined up along the lane. Once the free throws are complete, A-5 will be replaced. Team B will receive a throw-in from the end line. Team B will be able to move along the end line if the final free throw was successful. If such free throw missed, the throw-in shall be from a designated spot on the end line. A charged timeout does not change the requirement for A-5 to leave the game.

Very Interesting Play. My first thought when I read this was A-5 would have to leave the game
and the substitute would shoot the Free Throws, but this does make sense the way it is handled.
Thanks!
