NCAA rules, please.

I know that in NCAA, only 4 opponents of the free thrower and only 2 teammates of the free thrower may be along the lane during the attempt(s). My question is, can the opponents occupy 3 spaces on the same side of the lane? Normally you see 2 on one side and 2 on the other side. Could they move one guy to the other side and have 3 on one side?

During my game on Saturday, this happened. And (just because it looked wierd, I guess) I asked the opponent closest to the free thrower to move to the other side of the lane. My partner questioned me on it and we looked in the rulebook for it. I don't remember the exact citation, but I think one of the articles in Rule 8 mentions that the opponent can occupy either of the two lane spaces closest to the free thrower.

Did I do the correct thing in asking one of the free thrower's opponents to move to the other side of the lane?

Chuck
