The NBA rule is different. They allow players outside the 3-point arc to enter the lane on the release of the FT, just as the players along the lane are allowed to enter on the release.
In HS and NCAA, the players outside the 3-point arc must wait for the ball to hit the rim or backboard before breaking the plane of the arc.
If Prince was crossing the 3-point arc before the FT was released, that should've been a delayed violation. But it's certainly possible that they ignore it unless the player gets the rebound. I can't address that.
