Another myth.....
In spite of the myth, most times a tech FT is being shot, does it also seem to you that the remaining players seem to just automatically go beyond the division line on their own? The only time they might wander into the area beyond the arc and FT line extended is if the coach at the nearer bench wants to talk to them like the coach at the far bench usually does during a tech FT.
Hasn't led to any problems that I've observed. Just kinda funny that they usually follow the myth without ever being asked to do it.
