JR,
Are you saying that it is a violation for the FT shooter to step ON the semicircle line after receiving the ball?

Well, 9.1.8 enjoins players not in marked lane spaces from breaking the plane of the three-point line and the free-throw line extended, and 1-5-1 says the lane lines and the free-throw line are part of the lane . . . from which I would conclude that it's OK for the shooter to step on the three-point line semicircle . . .
If it's not, please reply quickly, I'm on my way out the door to a game!
