Case book play 8.1.4.b is exactly this play. Allow it.

Snaqs,
Holy cow! and Yikes!
Thank you for the citation. I never happened across 8.1.4.b on my own, and I am certain nobody ever brought it to my attention. Since the rule was changed (Was it just 2003-2004? I don't have an attic.) I have never seen an official in southern New Hampshire allow (intentionally) an opponent of the free thrower to occupy the second space. I also work with guys from Vermont, and they don't allow it either. Is it possible that whole states missed this or are using their own interpretation? Is it possible that IAABO has an alternate interpretation that we are using? HMM!
I sent the citation to our state interpretor this morning. I can't wait for his response.
