None. If the shooter has his foot in (on) the free-throw line, the shot is disallowed and considered a missed free throw.
The free throw line is 15 feet from the basket.

The free throw line is always 15 ft from the line to the backboard. Or 19 feet from the free throw line to the baseline.
No it isn't, you must start and finish your free throw attempts behind the free throw line
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.
Same as any other free throw line, 15 feet
Chauncey Billups shoots 91% at the free throw line.
Mo Williams shoots 91% at the free throw line.
The back of the free throw line is 19 feet from the inside of the base line. - The inside of the base line is 5 feet 3 inches from the center of the goal. - The center of the goal is 13 feet 9 inches from the back of the free throw line. This makes the back of the free throw line 19 feet from the inside of the base line.
The diameter of a free throw circle is 9 feet and 6 inches. That line from the center of the free throw line to the top of the key is the radius of the circle.
