8-1-4 Free Throw Lane Spaces

[Bishopcolle]

Josh quoted: I don't think it contradicts itself at all, personally. The first lane spaces can only be occupied by the opponent of the FTer. Never, under any circumstance may a teammate of the FTer occupy the first lane space. The other four lane spaces can be occupied by either team (but the specified team has preference) as long as 8-1-4a is not violated.


Disagree with the red underlined part....8-1-4.e says the Thrower's teammates may NOT occupy the spots closest to the thrower (spot 3), even if left empty.....

You're not correct for NFHS play or NCAA Mens' game.
You are correct for an NCAA Womens' game.
You might be working from last year's NFHS rules book. There was a change in the FT alignment this season. It now matches the NCAA Mens.

The first marked lane space in NFHS is now ABOVE the block. The spot BELOW the block nearest the basket no longer exists and must be left vacant this season. That shifts everyone up one space, so the spot nearest the shooter has returned to the NFHS game (It left in 2003.), and may be occupied by a player from either team. Of course, the defense has the right to it, if desired.

Pssst, no it doesn't. It didn't last year either.
