1. Is the US flag required on striped shirt for High School Federation.

Not at all. In most cases this is a personal choice all together. And considering that the American Flag means different things to different people, if associations try to make this a requirement, they might find themselves in litigation.

2. I know in NCAA Womens. the lower lane spaces on each side are not used for free throws. We have a new official from Texas who tells me its the same for Federation. (Can't find that one!!!)

Only the NCAA Women's level uses this rule. Every other code allows this lower block to be used. Of course there are some variations "how" it is used, but NF and NCAA Men's are much more similar to each other. NCAA Women's seems to be intent on making their game completely different from the other levels for some reason. I guess that is why you do not see Officials doing both Men's and Women's NCAA.
