Yes, you can. During a ROP situation when the defense hasn't come out of thier huddle. Let the offense shoot with a delayed lane violation signal. If he/she misses and the defense still doesn't line up, you T 'em.

Yes, in the rare event that there is only one player left on the defensive team and that team has a chance to win the game.

Add the following (foir the general case of when you shoot FTs with no player in the lowest spots):

• FT's for a Technical, Intentional, or Flagrant Foul
• FT's for a foul that occurs with no time remaining on the clock
• FT's for a foul that were deserved but not awarded and the error was disocvered after there had been a change of possession and before....
• FT's for a foul that were deserved but not awarded and the error was discovered after time expired and there had been no change of possession and before...
• FT's that are to be followed by the administration of some other penalty (e.g., FT's or a throwin for another foul)

Why not just get them back on the floor?

You are right, of course. If we can get them back out on the floor, we should do that. IMHO the RPP is best used as a last resort, or to send a message if a team repeatedly delays. But, the OP was asking about the rule...

FREE THROW DELAY FOLLOWING A TIME-OUT
9.1.2 SITUATION A: Following a time-out by Team B, A1 is given the ball for the
first of two free throws even though Team B is still huddling at the bench and the
first marked spaces on each side of the lane are not occupied. In this case, the
lead official uses the resumption-of-play procedure even though the first spaces
are not occupied, whereas in other cases, the spaces would have to be properly
occupied before the official would proceed with the free throw administration.
A1’s first attempt is successful. The lead official then bounces the ball to A1 for
the second attempt. Team B is still at the sideline. The official again gives the signal
which indicates a violation by Team B if the attempt is missed. A1 misses the
second free-throw attempt. RULING: The violation will result in A1 being given a
substitute attempt. Team B will be assessed a technical foul if they delay further
by not occupying the first marked spaces on each side of the lane before the ball
becomes live for the substitute throw. (4-38; 8-1-2; 10-1-5b)
