free throw
In High School basketball, there are 4 positions for defense and 2 positions for offense in a free throw application. if both players on offense vacate their positions after the first of 2 free throws, can the upper defensive players, in spot 3 take the original offensive positions for the 2nd free throw which would be spot 2.
I've never seen this in 35 years of playing, watching, coaching and now refereeing. |

Yes, the players may take any vacant position.
The only requirements are that the nonshooting team fill the two spots nearest the basket and that the maximums of four defensive and two offensive players along the lane are not exceeded. |

There could be three players on one side; one on the other. Or the first four spots. |

This was a rule change a couple of years ago. All spots used to be "designated", so defense had the low blocks, offense, the next two, and defense the 2 spots closest to the shooter....No exceptions. When NFHS changed the alignment and the 2 low blocks were ruled unoccupied, only the 2 lowest available are still "designated" (and must be filled by defense). If the offense does not occupy the 2 middle spots, defense can have them as well. |
