Leaving free-throw line
When you are the shooter can you leave the line as soon as it leaves your hand? If that is the rule, as I believe it is, then Craft was completely legal and got screwed on a headsy play.

Re: Leaving free-throw line
For some reason I thought it was leave the line when the ball hits/reaches the rim...but I could be wrong.

Re: Leaving free-throw line
So it must hit the rim before the shooter can leave, but the rest of the players it is off the release?

Re: Leaving free-throw line
I slow motioned it on my tv and his foot DOESN'T hit the ground until after the the ball hits the rim. So is the rule that your body can't be past the line?

"Free-thrower shall not break the vertical plane of the free-throw line with either foot until the ball strikes the ring, flange or backboard"

Re: Leaving free-throw line
The right shooter could slam home misses all day. For instance, let Durant do that and he scores two every time. Originally Posted by hawkfarmer

Re: Leaving free-throw line
Agreed. You learn about that rule when you first start playing basketball. Otherwise the shooter would have an advantage of knowing when he is going to shoot the ball and gets a head start to retrieve the rebound. Which is just what Craft did. Originally Posted by HawkPrdatr40
