Pay close attention to B1 if they are standing behind Free Throw shooter A1. Sometimes they may be talking to the shooter. Kids are tricky.

I wish I could have had some of you guys as refs about a month or two ago... we were the visiting team, one of my girls was at the line, and behind my player was a player from the other team... she was standing there talking to one of the refs (the refs new a number of the people on there team and the coach - pretty common around here - refs tend to work the same schools for travel reasons) and she was loudly clearing her throat multiple times - I was prett upset that the ref was allowing it... Well, I was willing to get a T, didn't want one, but was going to do something...so, I very politely asked the ref if I could get the girl a drink of water so my player could shoot her foul shots.....

If looks could kill.... I didn't get a T - but it was close...
