free throw lane issues

[ysong]

Because I can not find any rules that explicitly address this issue, I try to find a answer from the principles of basketball games.

IMHO, basically this case is about whether a player is allowed to choose his defender and whether a player is allowed to choose a player to guard.

So I think while a player is allowed to pick someone for him to guard, the one who is guarded does not get to choose who is guarding him.

Do you think this thought make sense?

Thanks.
