FT lane leaning on one another

I think it has to be a foul, on all occasions.

I disagree.

Suppose the actions happened during play -- A1 comes off a screen to get an open jumper at the FT line. B2 has good boxout position on A2, and A2 "leans on" B2. The shot is good. I'd have no foul. (But, I might talk to A2 -- just as I would before / after the FT situation).

Change the play so the try rebounds to A2 and B2 is unable to jump for the rebound because of the lean, and I'd have a foul. The same as in the FT situation.
