free throw lane issues

[ysong]

I believe the double T is the best solution under this circumstance. Thanks for sharing your insights.

But I still have some questions:

1.What if this happens early in the game when the T does not decide the outcome of the game? is double T still the preferred solution?

2.the rules require the defense fill the bottom 2 slots, and give the shooting team some options to choose. But is the order of the events implied here by the rules? i,e, the defense has to set first, then offense choose their spots? (at first glance, I think the order is implied. but when I read it again, I am not really sure now.)

If the order is implied by the rules, then should the defense side be given the warning first?

Thanks.
