I know this is completely wrong for current NFHS and NCAA rules, but was there something before my time (2000) that would help explain this?

In NCAA nothing wrong with this ever. If he backed up out of marked lane space
before the release then we've got a problem.
btw as a coach we're teaching our players to look for this move more (HS V Boys) as it is more likely that a rebound on a free throw will go off the rim short and to the side than long enough in the middle of the lane for the player in the second spot to have a shot at it.
