Screens during FT
random question but I just saw this video of a miss FT and thought of it.
Is there any rule against setting screens during a FT? So behind the three point line. Can screens be set there?

(Yeah, I know, but it sounds like he would have said it.)

It's common for players on the lane to screen as opposed to going directly for the rebound. This lets a teammate have a better shot at the rebound.

What part of setting such a screen would be illegal in your opinion?

The same rules about setting screens at any other time apply.
