Now if you are saying use common sense to know B1 is an opponent of the free throw shooter then that's a whole different thing entirely.  |
From the national interps (emphasis added):
Comment: Rule 9-1 does not address the issue of players, other than the free thrower during the free throw, entering the semi-circle. The national interpretation on this issue is during the free throw,
anyone entering the semi-circle has created a violation. If it is a team member who violates, the ball should be blown dead immediately. If an opponent violates, it is a delayed lane violation and the free thrower should be awarded a substitute throw if the free throw is missed.
