Hi, welcome to the forum. It's nice to have another new poster here.
If you are willing to listen to what the veterans say, you will learn a great deal.
Unfortunately, you are dead wrong in your current belief of NFHS FT marked lane space restrictions. Here is the appropriate case play:
8.1.4 SITUATION: A1 is at the free-throw line for the first attempt of a bonus
situation. In (a), two Team B and two Team A players occupy the first and second
marked lane spaces, respectively. B3 occupies one of the third marked lane
spaces. A3 attempts to occupy the vacant third marked lane space; or
(b) two
Team B players occupy the first marked lane spaces. The offense chooses not to
occupy any marked lane spaces. Two more Team B players choose to occupy the
second marked lane spaces. RULING: Illegal in (a), A3 is not permitted to occupy
the third marked lane space. Only two offensive players may occupy marked
lane spaces during a free throw. If the improper alignment is not corrected prior
to the thrower having the ball at his/her disposal, a free-throw violation shall be
called on Team A immediately.
Legal in (b), four defensive players are permitted
in any of the first three vacant marked lane spaces.
I hope that you stick around, swallow some pride, and get better.
