Team A is shooting two free throws. Coach B pulls all his players off the lane to talk to them. I tell the coach he needs to have players in the bottom two spaces before we shoot the first. He doesn't agree (the other coach chimes in that there is no such rule) but sends the player back to there spaces after a little complaining. At the time I was 110% sure I was right but I can't seem to find the rule to back me up. Was I right?

10.1.5 SITUATION C: The calling official has reported the foul and proceeds to his/her proper position for the first of two free throws awarded to A1. B1 and B2 are: (a) huddling in the lane;
or (b) two B players are not occupying the first two marked spaces next to the end line as required. RULING: In (a), if the huddle delays the officials' administration, Team B is warned. The warning is recorded by the scorer and reported to the head coach. If Team B had been previously warned for free-throw delay, a technical foul shall be charged.
In (b), Team B will be directed to occupy the required spaces. If there is delay, a technical foul shall be charged to Team B. (4-47)
