I have been watching with amazement(NCAA Tourney) all the players lining up for a free throw and standing on or into the next player's box on free throws. Is this not a lane violation? If not , why do they paint the boxes on the lane? Just stand where you want. Please clear this officials mind.Is Fed different?

Thanks!!!
bake17,
Relax. That's legal in NCAA. And, yes, Fed is different.
