"Coach, he was just trying to protect your player, so he wouldn't slip during the rebounding action."

Do you handle it the exact same way if it occurs in the first quarter or in the last 2 seconds of a tie game?
Yes, of course. There's no way you're gonna call it in the last 2 seconds of a game unless the kid drives to the hoop for the layup.
Whaaaat?

We're talking about a free-throw shooter stepping over the line before he shoots. What has that got to do with protecting a player from the other team who's on a lane line from slipping during a rebound?

What if the FT shooter has both feet over the line at the same time before he shoots?
