Thinking there is an NF rule that the players must be behind the division line in this situation is an old wives of coaches tale.
Put it in the same category as not being able to legally request a timeout when a five count is past four, not being able to take a charge when you are standing directly under the basket and getting the ball at midcourt following a timeout near the end of the game after rebounding a missed free throw.
