opponents go to locker room before FT's are shot

During a free throw when lane spaces may be occupied then the defensive team is required to fill those two lane spaces, aren't they? Therefore... couldn't you signal a violation on any missed free throw attempt by the shooting team, and allow them to re-shoot?

In the OP play time has expired and the horn has sounded. You shoot the FT's with the lane cleared. If the foul was called with triple 0's but the horn didn't sound then time hasn't expired yet. In this case the 2 bottom spaces are required to be filled. If they aren't (team is gone) then use the resumption of play, if its missed they get another. If the shot is missed and the team still isn't back or won't come back then it would be a delay of game "T".
