You handled the situation exactly right. Good job. It was a double lane violation as soon as the teammate of the shooter stepped over or across his boundary plane. If only the opponent did so, you delay the call to see if the free throw goes in (but use the fist signal to indicate a pending violation). If it misses, then you blow the whistle and assess the penalty--i.e., giving the shooter a "do over." But when a teammate violates, it is an immediate violation and "no shot." If a double violation occurs, administer the next shot, or go with the possession arrow and put the ball in on the baseline. But . . . if the teammate initiates the switch and, hence, violates before the opponent, the ball becomes dead right away and only that first violation is penalized. Hope that all made sense to you. Bottom line . . . you got it right, even if you didn't know why.
