Is it a rule that the defense team must have someone in the bottom spot for a free throw attempt by the opposing team. I'm talking about NFHS here. I've heard different interpretations, but haven't been able to find it in the book.

Specifically, look at Rule 8-1-4-b.

That's one time it's not required. There's (at least) a couple more, and more common, examples.

Also (examples of ball remaining dead) FTs after time has expired for a period.
