Free Throw occupation

[phansen]

NFHS 8.4

If a teammate of the free thrower chooses not to occupy a second marked lane space, can a opponent of the free thrower move into this space, or does it have to remain empty?

8.4 has nothing to do with it. That deals with the ten-second limit. I think you mean 8-1-4 (remember that dashes refer to the Rules Book, while dots refer to the Case Book).

Either way, they can move down.

8-1-4f

Good question (and answer) as I thought I knew the answer but was wrong....I'm glad to be properly informed!

I make them ask "pretty please with sugar on it" first.

But you would have been right in NCAA-W.
