Leaving free-throw line

[DuffMan]

its a very good rule actually, and the officials nailed it.

strange who many of these calls there have been though.

its tourney time, players are doing things for a win they wouldn't any other time.

I think it is dumb for this reason. I don't think a guy should be able to jump across the line and shoot it, they should have to release it before crossing the line. Now why I think that would be a good rule is that it does give an advantage to the free throw shooter. You don't want a guy on the line don't foul him.

Also, if you think it would work everytime that is also ridiculous, it won't work everytime. Just my thoughts.

We need more plays like this on free throws. Can't believe nobody bothers to try it anymore.

That video is exactly why that play is, and should be, illegal.

In the NBA guys step over the line almost every time they shoot a free throw. Shaq did it on just about every free throw he ever shot, including every one of the lucky 10 or however many it was he hit in that infamous comeback against the Kings in the Western Conference final.

What does the officiating in NBA have to do with the officiating in NCAA basketball?

Just an observation. I guess I will call you and ask if I can post in a thread next time before I post anything.

The shooter already gets an advantage by getting one or two free looks at the basket. That's supposed to be the penalty for fouling. Letting shooters get a head start on their intentional misses is an advantage they should not get.

Nobody does it like MJ. Basketball god.

This is a prime example of why great players don't make great coaches. They don't understand why someone can't do it like they did. Son... just crash the lane and dunk the missed FT. WTF? MJ made it look so easy!

When did they make it illegal? I don't follow the NBA all that much, so I guess I didn't realize it was illegal.
