FWIW, there was a varsity coach (who was pretty successful) in Indiana some 20 years ago, that instructed his players to actually guard the foul shooter, if his player inadvertantly stepped in the lane way early. His thinking was that the shooter was getting another throw on a miss regardless, so do everything within your power to keep him from making the original free throw. The way I understand it, he did it two or three times in one season, until someone tagged his player with an unsportsmanlike T.
