positions.

7.6.5 SITUATION: Prior to a throw-in on the end line near A’s basket, A1, A2
and A3 line up shoulder-to-shoulder parallel to the line and: (a) within 3 feet of it;
or (b) more than 3 feet from it. In both cases, Team B requests space between
the Team A players. RULING: In (a), the request is granted and a Team B player
may position between each of the Team A players. In (b), the request is denied.


In most other situations (with a few exceptions, nonjumpers on jump ball circle, and free throw rebounders along the lane), 4-23-1 should cover it.

4-23-1: Every player is entitled to a spot on the playing court provided such player gets there first
without illegally contacting an opponent.
