Sure, why not? What exactly do you think needs THAT much attention during a free throw? What's the difference between this scenario and the heat of a game when the trail is tableside and his back is to the benches? I would expect that situation to be much more volatile. Who's watching the benches then?
I think way too much significance is being placed on who's seeing what with this change in mechanics. During a free throw, as lead, I can take as much time as I need before bouncing the ball to the free thrower. If it's a tense situation. I can be very aware of what's going on at the benches.
Does everyone really have that many problems with the benches during free throws?
