What Howard said, I think, is that if B didn't want that upper space, anyone could have it. By upper space, I mean the second one down from the shooter, the third one up from the basket. [/B]

If Howard meant that any one of the two A players allowed on the lane lines can slide into that space,if B doesn't want to fill it,then Howard is right.Team A still can't put any more players anywhere along the lane lines than the maximum of 2 that they are legally allowed to have there.Less than 2,but not more.
That's the way I understand that the new rule is supposed to be administered. [/B][/QUOTE]
I'm not sure, now that we're being so specific, that Howard was saying that. But not to fear. He'll read this and call me. When he does, I'll report back. Howard is the go-to guy for rules and interpretations, so he gets the last word.
