RULE 9

Free Throw

Section 1. When a foul has been called the referee shall
immediately secure possession of the ball and place it in
the hands of the player who is to attempt the free throw,
or place the ball on the free throw line.

Section 2. When a personal foul has been called, the
referee shall designate the player on whom the foul was
committed, to attempt the free throw or throws. If any
other player attempts the free throw and the goal is made, it
shall not count; and whether made or missed, the ball shall
be awarded to the opposing team out of bounds. If the
player designated to attempt the free throw is so injured that
he must leave the game, his substitute shall attempt the
free throw, or throws. If, however, this player leaves the
game because of disqualification or any reason other than
injury, he must attempt the free throw or throws before
leaving the game.

Section 3. Any player on the offended team may attempt
free throws after technical fouls.

Section 4. The throw for goal shall be made within 10
seconds after the referee places the ball on the free throw
line or in the hands of the offended player. This 10 second
rule applies to each free throw.

Section 5. If free throw after a personal foul is made or
missed, the ball continues in play; or if more than one
personai free throw has been awarded, the ball continues
in play after the last free throw.

If successive free throws are awarded to one team and none
to the other and at least one is for a personal foul, the
ball continues in play if the last free throw is made or
missed.
