thanks
My view on free throw line matchups is the same as regular defensive matchups - the offense does not get to choose who guards them so why should I change that here.
I dont think a double T is necessesary here for a few reasons -- One Team B is just trying to get in the best possible position to box out the talles player on the court by a long shot. -- Two there is no need to penalize Team B as they are not the ones initiating the musical chair game. -- Three I had asked the offensive player to chose a spot and stick with it.
If this was a high school game I would have approached it the same way -- Heres why I would not bounce the ball and issue a lane violation.
Both teams violated (team A did not fake team B in) so essentially there is no real advantage as both the offense and the defense were disconcerting to the shooter. And also as officials we should not be bouncing the ball to the shooter while players are adjusting themselves on the lanes. In high school if a coach or captain does not step in and tell his player to hold his spot that's their problem -- I ask once, twice then ring up the player that is the cause of this.
