2) At its simplest, from the video, the player moves into a marked lane space after the ball is at the disposal of the shooter

1) Billy, if you look at the video, the L didn't put his whistle into his mouth until
after the FT shooter had the ball. The other officials obviously didn't blow their whistles before the FT shooter either, or they couldn't have called the violation. Your reasoning is correct, but obviously(at least to me) there was no whistle
before the FT shooter got the ball.
2) Naw, at it's simplest, as soon as the FT shooter gets the ball, his opponent violates immediately by being outside of a lane space but inside the arc. The NFHS equivalent to the NCAA rule is 9-1-8. What the player does after committing that violation-- be it returning to a lane space-- is moot because the play is now over. Make sense?
