No, Juulie, I don't have them mixed up.

Item "b", while saying nothing about after a made goal, doesn't place any restrictions on when it may or may not occur.
No restrictions, eh? Then why doesn't it apply to the sitch under discussion?
It could. I had said it was overkill...not wrong. I believe there are better less heavy handed was to get them to stop being silly. It's not really a T-worthy behavior.
Here I am standing with the ball, and the darn players keep waltzing back and forth in front of me. I finally caution them, they settle down, and I administer the first free throw. As soon as the ball hits the rim, they are at it again. Before the ball gets back to me, I give them the look, say, "Knock it off!" and then catch teh ball. Now they step across yet again. What do you suggest??
Tell them ball is coming in, hold your spots, and bounce it to the shooter.

The mechanics manual assumes the players are not doing anything goofy. Take control when they're being goofy but don't throw the book at them.
