Art. 4. For men, a maximum of six players (four opponents of the freethrower and two teammates of the free-thrower) shall be permitted on the free-throw lane during a free throw. All other players shall be behind the free-throw line extended and behind the three-point field-goal line.
a. (Men) Within this limit, opponents of the free-thrower may occupy the third lane space (with the spot closest to the end line being the first). If they opt not to, a teammate of the free-thrower may occupy the third space. No player shall occupy the fourth space.
Can, at any time, a third member of the free-thrower's team occupy the third lane space if the defensive team opts not to use it?
