In basketball, a player must release the ball within how many seconds when attempting a free throw?
10 seconds
The free-throw time limit depends on the rule book being followed.
Under the NBA (National Basketball Association, USA) rules, a player attempting a free throw must release the ball within 10 seconds after it is placed at his disposal.
Under the FIBA (International Basketball Federation) rules, which govern international basketball, the free-throw shooter must release the ball within 5 seconds.
