Yes, they are allowed to jump or leave the ground while shooting a free throw. But if they jump when they shoot and the tip of their shoe croses the line then the freethrow basket will not count.
yes but not over the line, that's why NBA players don't as they are tall enough and don't want to take the chance
you jump up and throw the ball in
Yes, you may jump, as long as the shooter does not jump over the line. You may cross the free throw line once the ball hits the rim. Typically, pros do not jump, but it is more common to see juniors jumping since they may not be strong enough to reach the basket without jumping.
no that's how you get the power to get to ball high and long
Often, jump shooters are accurate free throw shooters and percentages play in the jump shooters favor at the free throw line. For example, a good jump shooter might shoot 46-50% from the field, but at the free throw line this increases to 80% and higher (i.e. ~30% increase in getting 2 or 3 points). One exception would be if the jump shooter has a clear layup or dunk (virtually 100% success). In this case, fouling and preventing the basket is worth it.
