This observation is based on officials doing high school level and below:
Officials who stand in that vacated lower lane space during the first of two free throws inevitably follow the flight of the ball to and though the rim.
That habit then far too often carries over to the second free throw even when the official stands in the proper space, much to the detriment of proper observance of those lane space players for whom he's responsible.
This, not merely anecdotal, but based on video evidence.
The NFHS mechanic serves high school level and below best.
Just do it. Just train others to do it.
