I have an explanation, in layman's terms, for the difference in the two violations.
The two violations are apples and oranges. For a player in control of the ball, the backcourt, after ten seconds, is a restricted area. Not only do you have a limited time in this area, once you leave this area, you may not return. The lane is not a restricted area, but rather a limited access area. One of the limits, along with the time, is that you must totally vacate the area before re-entry.
