Remember the rules state that when the ball is to remain dead following the final FT players shall not occupy the marked lane spaces. They aren't required to leave the court or such, so this simply means that they must follow the requirements for players not in marked lane spaces, ie be behind the FT line extended and outside of the 3pt line.

So if a player is inside of that restricted area, then a FT violation has been committed.

The player could be charged with a technical foul for failing to adhere to the official's instruction, but that seems over the top to me.
