	Free throw - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In basketball, free throws or foul shots are unopposed attempts to score points from a restricted area on the court (the free throw line; informally known as the "charity stripe" or foul line), and are generally awarded after a foul by the opposing team.
		The importance of free throws is nevertheless sometimes underestimated; games have been known to be decided on them, especially if the score was close.
		Free throws normally can be made at a high percentage.

		When a free throw is awarded, an official shall put the ball in play by placing it at the disposal of the free throw shooter.
		During a free throw for a personal foul, each of the spaces nearest the endline must be occupied by an opponent of the free throw shooter.
		A free throw attempt, personal or technical, shall neither be legal nor count unless an official handles the ball and is also in the free throw area when the foul try is attempted.

	Free Throw Strategies
		One of the things that is often forgotten in rebounding the ball from a defensive vantage on the free throw line is just where the offense places their players.
		When lining up on the free throw line defensively, each bottom guy should be as high up in his box as he can be and the guy who is pinching down from the position above the offensive player should be as low as he can be in his box.
		This section will deal with the basic free throw rules you must know, free throw rebounding and blocking techniques, a strategic line-up around the key, a fast break offense to run off a made or missed free throw and a press defense that can be set up while your player is shooting a free throw.
