A player lines up in the last block of the freethrow lane prior to the referee giving the shooter the ball. Under the new UIL? rule the player is not allowed to occupy that last block. When the ball is shot and missed the referee whistle's a lane violation for the player lining up in the wrong block. Is this the referee's responsibility to align the players prior to the free throw, or just a courtesy type of deal, and is it really a violation to occupy the wrong block on a freethrow?

It's a courtesy. Yes, it's a violation, and it's ultimately the players' responsibility to line up correctly. We don't like to call this, so we will try to catch it before the shot. But if we don't, it's a violation. Kind of like 6 players on the court. We don't like to call it, and do our best to avoid it. But if we miss it, it's the coaches' responsibility.
