2015/16 NFHS Rule Interpretations

The substitute free throw would be administered with the free-throw lane spaces unoccupied. (9-1-2g Penalty 2b)[/I]

When I go to the online, 2015-16 NFHS Basketball Rules Book, located at the NFHS Site, 9-1-2 is: Teams shall properly occupy marked lane spaces according to number and space requirements. There is no 2g? There is a 3g though?

Also, the situation says, "The substitute free throw would be administered with the free-throw lane spaces unoccupied."

2.b. says: If the try is not successful, the ball becomes dead when the free throw ends, and a substitute throw shall be attempted by the same free thrower under conditions the same as for the free throw for which it is substituted.

If the conditions are "the same," why is the lane now unoccupied?

Did I miss more changes and corrections or is it just too early in the morning for me to process?
Thanks.

More bad editing?

Didn't some of us get yelled at for suggesting such actions earlier this summer?

I don't think so.

I think some *individuals* got "yelled at" but it was (mostly, at least) with the understanding that (a) the FED could change the interp and (b) the state could have a different interp
