Regarding the FT violation, you haven't seen it because most of the kids have sense enough not to do it. Remember, these are college basketball players. It's not as though they just started playing the game last month. I won't say all of the kids know the rule because they don't. I will say, though, that many of the kids are aware of it...especially the guards because they don't always line up on the lane for a FT.

Also, there wouldn't be any need to have "some meeting" to focus on it. In that situation, where a team really needs a rebound, we're going to be that much more alert to players trying to gain an advantage. Of course, given how obvious the violations were it didn't take a whole lot to see them.
