I have occasionally seen posts here that tried to say that if the defense violates on a free throw it's not a violation unless the shot is missed. That is absolutely not true. When B1 stepped into the lane, he violated. The penalty for that violation includes waiting to see if the free thrower makes the shot. If he does, "the violation is disregarded" (NFHS 9-1 Penalties 2-a)

There's nothing about granting a time out that undoes B1's violation, nor does it set aside the penalty. It merely delays the enforcement of the penalty for 30 or 60 seconds.
I wonder if BadNewsRef would insist that the violation occurs when the thrower's attempt is unsuccessful.
