The play described below is provided for your review and discussion. The rulings given are based on NFHS rules. NCAA rulings may be different.

A-2 is attempting her last free throw with 2.6 seconds on the clock and her team trailing by one point.  After the release of the free throw but before the ball hits the ring, A-1 crosses the three-point arc.  

Handle the situation.


This is a free throw-in violation by A-1.  Team B will be awarded the ball for a designated spot throw-in at the out-of-bounds spot closest to the violation.  This should be on the sideline.
