Is this a lane violation?
4.7.2 says "The ball becomes dead, or remains dead, when .. It is apparent the free throw will not be successful.
This was a game situation I had and called the violation. Neither coach protested the call and another foul shot was awarded.
However, was this the correct ruling?

I can see the coaches not protesting the defensive violation (the timing may have been difficult to see), but why was the throw retaken? Since you called the defensive violation, this was a violation by each team and you either go to the arrow or to the NEXT FT.
