9. Protecting the Free Thrower Rule 9-1-3h
Players occupying marked free-throw lane line spaces may not enter the free-throw semicircle until the ball touches the ring or until the free throw ends.
Rationale: This levels the balance between offense and defense and reduces rough play. An unfair advantage occurs if the free thrower’s opponents are allowed to enter the semicircle while the free-throw shooter is restricted from leaving the semi-circle until the ball strikes the ring or the free throw ends. “Part of what we (NFHS) had observed over several seasons was pushing and the displacement of the free-throw shooter after he or she shot the ball.
MHSAA Interpretation: “Contact must rise above incidental”

10. Rule 9-1-3h – Players occupying marked free-throw lane lines spaces may not enter the free-throw semicircle until the ball touches the ring or until the free throw ends.

11. Kiss…uyadaokielm
If defender enters semi-circle prior to ball touching rim
Delay whistle
If good / Great you have nothing
If missed / The person shooting the free throw is granted a substitute free throw.
If the defender enters the semi-circle and makes contact “greater than incidental” you have two procedures
If the free throw is missed / Clear the lane and shoot the substitute free throw and complete any remaining free throws in that sequence.
If the shooters team is not in the bonus administer the ball for the foul at the spot nearest the foul (end line)
If the shooters team is in the bonus (1 & the Bonus or 2 shots) return all players to the free throw area and shoot the bonus.
If there is a “simultaneous violation by each team, the ball becomes dead, no points are scored, remaining free throws are administered or play is resumed by the team entitled to the alternating possession arrow.

15. Not being in proper position to make the call.
There are only two things for which a coach or player will always find hard to forgive an official for;
Not knowing the rules
Not being in proper position to make the call.
Wrong position; lack of rules knowledge, weak mechanics / Admit it, we’ve all been there and really don’t want to go back, I hope.

16. The rules you don’t enforce in your game will only make it harder for the next crew

17. Right Place, Right Time, Right Call mechanics
An official who is out of position is as negligent as a player who misses and important assignment. If the official misses an important call because of being out of proper position, he/she has committed the unpardonable sin of officiating.

Art. 1: Guarding is the act of legally placing the body in the path of an offensive opponent. There is no minimum distance required between the guard and opponent, but the maximum is 6 feet when closely guarded. Every player is entitled to a spot on the playing court provided such player gets there first without illegally contacting an opponent.
