Players used to be able to jump from the free throw line toward the hoop, but the rule was changed because of Wilt Chamberlain. Wilt could broad jump to within a few feet from the basket and make an easy lay-up, making nearly all of his free throws. After the rule change the shooter had to stay behind the line until the ball hits or passes through the rim. The rule change took Wilt from being the best free throw shooter in the game to one of its worst.

Yes. You can leave the floor to shoot a free throw but you may not cross the line upon landing.

You can jump but you have to shoot before you cross the plane of the foul line. Therefore you couldn't jump and dunk it.

many years in the past there replaced right into a participant by technique of the call of Hal Greer.Greer replaced right into a good mid-decision bounce shooter who used the very similar technique, at the same time as capturing loose throws.Greer is a member of the NBA hall of repute.
