did you know that you can bounce the ball into the hoop for your free throw as long as it bounces before the free throw line

Best free throw technique in my opinion was Nick Van Excel's. He used to stand a good two feet behind the free throw line hahaha.

From the FIBA rules 2006:

43.2.3 The free-throw shooter shall:
• Take a position behind the free-throw line and inside the semicircle.
• Use any method to shoot a free throw in such a way that the ball enters the basket from above or the ball touches the ring.
• Release the ball within five (5) seconds of the time when it is placed at his disposal by the official.
• Not touch the free-throw line or enter the restricted area until the ball has entered the basket or has touched the ring.
• Not fake a free throw.
