Interesting, Brad. I tried to find where I got my idea that the spot must stay open, but couldn't find anything definitive. The section in the book about free throws mentions that the WOMEN can now have either the 3rd or 4th spot, and then in a shaded box it notes that for MEN an opponent of the free thrower is entitled to the 3rd spot but makes no mention of the 4th. I may have over-interpreted that as meaning the 4th spot is not available. That, combined with having had other college guys make players move OUT of the 4th spot, convinced me. But, who am I to disagree with Mr. Bilik? I guess until I find something else to make me revert back, I'm gonna let the 4th spot be occupied. Thanks for the clarification.
