I Did Not Know That This Would Involve Math ...

I should have used my slide rule.

I carelessly forgot about the limit of offensive players (two) in marked lane spaces.

I momentarily went back to 2007-08 when there were two additional marked lane spaces.

Only eighteen years ago, seems longer.

8-1-4: During a free throw, lane spaces may be occupied as follows:
a. Marked lane spaces may be occupied by a maximum of two offensive players; four defensive players may occupy lane spaces.
b. The first marked lane spaces on each side of the lane, above and adjacent to the first lane-space marks, must be occupied by opponents of the free thrower. No teammate of the free thrower must occupy either of these marked lane spaces.
c. The second marked lane spaces on each side may be occupied by teammates of the free thrower.
d. The third marked lane spaces on each side, nearest the free thrower, may be occupied by the opponents of the free thrower.
e. Players must be permitted to move along and across the lane to occupy a vacant marked lane space within the limitations listed in this rule.
f. Not more than one player may occupy any part of a marked lane space.
