3) home team fan/student is banging a cow bell during FT attempt by visiting player. Legal during dead ball? During live ball? Is this considered an artificial noise maker and thus illegal? I seem to recall a case for this situation.
1) If the photographer is between the free throw lane lines, the officials can move him outside the lane lines. (1-20: Non-playing personnel shall stand outside the free throw lane lines extended toward the sidelines throughout the game.) After being moved, if he is still distracting the players with his flash, have the site director deal with it.

3) A cow bell is always considered an artificial noise maker and is always (live ball, dead ball, sick ball) illegal (1-18: The use of artificial noisemakers shall be prohibited).
