The restrictions on the players entering the lane in HS end when the ball contacts the ring or the backboard. However, the freethrower must cause the ball to strike the ring or enter the basket. If not, then the freethrower has committed a violation.

For NCAA play, the players in the lane spaces may enter the lane on the release of the ball, but rule about the thrower causing the ball to strike the ring or entering the basket is the same.

In short, the call made in the game was correct.
