Something Is Rotten In The State Of Denmark ...

Not fully disagreeing, but this seems a little "fishy".
While there are team technical fouls and player technical fouls for delaying the game by preventing the ball from being made promptly live or from being put in play, this seems to be killing an ant with a nuclear warhead.
Wouldn't a delayed violation (also in the rulebook) suffice?
When an offensive player fills the first marked lane space we've been instructed to call an immediate (ball at free throw shooter's disposal), not delayed, double violation (on the offensive player for being there and on the defensive player for not being there), however I can't seem to find a citation or interpretation for this specific situation.
