JustanotherRef's point is does the requirement to have "both" bottom marked lane-spaces occupied during a free throw imply that you have two defenders to place in those spots? I think the logical parallel is nice. I'm surprised that you would choose to reason one way for the first question and exactly the opposite for the other.
The reasoning that you give second involving the reasonable accomodations for disabled athletes supports your dichotomy much better.
