20 Years Experience
Chicago, IL
Male, 60
For twenty years I officiated high school, AAU and park district basketball games, retiring recently. For a few officiating is the focus of their occupation, while for most working as an umpire or basketball referee is an avocation. I started ref'ing to earn beer money during college, but it became a great way to stay connected to the best sports game in the universe. As a spinoff, I wrote a sports-thriller novel loosely based on my referee experiences titled, Advantage Disadvantage
This is one of the 5 correctable errors in the rule book when recognized before the next dead ball, but the remedy is to correct the error on the free throw, but lt keeps the subsequent results. If A2 would have made the free throw it could have been reversed, but in this case no free throw needs to be taken down and subsequent results stand. A3s basket counts. Ball gies to B.
Share Answer: 
Once a violation, always a violation. The referee should hold a fist straight out indicating a delayed violation. If the free throw does not go in, it is shot again.
Share Answer: 
Yes, as long as you dont carry the ball. You cannot travel in the middle of a legit dribble sequence.
Share Answer: 
It is a judgement call. If hitting the ball, alters the shooters arm trajectory yhen no foul. But if the defender swipes wildly and would have hit the shooter anyway, then possibly a foul.

Does a therapist aim to "fix" the client, or just treat the client indefinitely?
When he hit the ball up in the air he did not have possession. When he retrieves the bouncing ball by dribbling it he gains possession. So no carrying... unless he had possession while saving the ball, highly unlikely.
Share Answer: 
Violation.Thrown in for opposite team at previous throw in spot.
Share Answer: 
If, while blocking the shot, the offense and defense are pushing the ball in opposite directions then it is a held (jump) ball.
However, if the defender blocks the ball out of the hands of the shooter and the shooter recovers, the shooter lost ball control (you cannot travel without ball control) and then regains ball control and lands - no traveling.
