I agree, it's nothing new -- but at least it might help clear it up for some (it's a relatively frequent confusing discussion for some -- because it gets confused with the ROP procedure -- when this isn't a T--at least not yet)

The caseplay which has been around for years says that if Team B is not occupying the two bottom lane spaces prior to a FT, then the official shall direct them to do so and if they don't immediately comply, they are assessed a team technical foul. Why we now have this new ruling is a mystery.
