Casebook 10.2.1(b)
SITUATION: The ruling official has reported the foul and proceeds to his/her proper position for the first of two free throws awarded to A1...: (b) Two B players are not occupying the first two marked spaces next to the end line as required.
RULING: Team B will be directed to occupy the required spaces. If there is a delay, a team technical foul shall be charged to Team B. (4-47)
Why did the NFHS chose to append (4-47) as a rule reference here? This situation. . . A. Isn't mentioned as one of the 4-47 delays of game, and B. All the infractions detailed in 4-47 merit a warning prior to the issuance of a team technical, which the casebook reference above does not.
In spite of these apparent inconsistencies, is it correct that an immediate T should be issued if the team doesn't put players in those lower lane spaces?
