Even in three-person, the T is supposed to be in the...trail position on the last free throw. I make sure my inside/lower foot is on or around the hash mark (or where a hash mark would be) and I'm open so I can see the players that aren't lined up. If you know someone who is hanging around mid-court, tell them they aren't doing anybody any good way out there.
The mechanic in Texas, for the first of multiple free throws, in 3 person, the calling official is to be at the division line, so we can "communicate" with the coaches...which is a nice way of saying letting them vent at the call. On the final shot, we are to move to the customary position to help with rebounding, etc.
