A 7-meter throw is awarded when a clear chance of scoring is illegally destroyed anywhere on the court by a player or a team official of the opposing team.
The 7-meter throw is to be taken as a shot on goal, within 3 seconds after a whistle signal from the referee.
When a 7-meter throw is being executed, the teammates of the thrower must position themselves outside the free-throw line, and remain there until the ball has left the thrower’s hand.
