Years ago in Indiana, there was a team that, if they stepped in the lane way early, would continue in the lane and actually guard the free-thrower. The thinking was, the opponent was going to be awarded another throw on a miss anyway, so let's make sure he misses. Got away with only a substitute FT penalty a few times.
As I understand it, after one or two well-placed unsportsmanlike T's later in the season, it stopped.
