Floor Markings

I just worked a game for the first time in a new HS gym in our area. When marking the floor, they did not put down the semi-circle at the top of the free throw lane. When I questioned the AD, he said it wasn't necessary since there were no more jump ball situations at the free throw line. I argued that it is required by rule, both in Rule 1 and Rule 9. Rule 9 states that free throws must be taken within the semicircle - if it 's not there how can that rule be enforced. Granted in reality 99.99% of all free throws are taken directly at the line so it's not really an issue, but none the less I believe it is a requirement by rule.

Obviously we played the game. I guess I am now supposed to file a report with the state about the irregularity. I am surprised that a month into the season, I am the first official that has worked there that has mentioned this to them. I'm curious what some of you more "senior" folks think?
