Is there a violation by the FT shooter?

Honestly, no. Now the broadcast did not help because they cut to a shot of the FT shooter (as they do) and he almost immediately threw the ball to the basket. You do not see the flight of the ball at all and see contact with the backboard at least and he is behind the line. Actually takes two steps from behind the line, then beats everyone to the ball.
I know the NW coach complained and suggested there was a violation, but it was not for coming across the line too early. If anything it might have been for not hitting the rim, but that is not something we can prove based on the broadcast view.
