So, Bigwhistle, is it ok to let one team stand near the bench and talk to the coach during the shots if they are in the backcourt, even though the other team would be restricted from this because the shots are occurring near their bench? Just asking. Devon.

There is nothing wrong with either team standing near its' bench during the free throws with cleared lane. If you think about it, they will be under the coach's direct supervision getting instructions more times than not. The team in the court where the ball is being shot should still be able to be near their coach, just above the free throw line extended. All coaching boxes should be in a spot above this line.
