FT question

[rgaudreau]

Here's a scenario that occured this weekend in a Championship game (Grade 7-8 boys). A1 is fouled by one of my players on a try at the buzzer ending the 2nd quarter. 2 shots are to be takened. Official sends all players back to their benches while the FT's are being taken. I protested saying that I was allowed to occupy the lanes while the FT's were being taken. Officials both disagreed with me. I'm just curious if this was the correct call or not. It seems to me that my players should be able to occupy the blocks during the FT's if only to act as a visual distraction.

This didn't affect the outcome of the game. We lost the Championship and ended up 2nd in a 16 team tournament. It was a great improvement over last place last year.
