I think quite a few are not reading the post for what it is - the OP was told by an observer that it is illegal for a player to back out of the lane space rather than coming in. It has nothing to do with leaving early, but rather that when the restrictions end they must enter into the lane rather than trying to go around.
That's not true - a player may go any direction they want.
In the NCAA they can do that on the release, in NFHS obviously when the ball hits the basket, backboard, or the try is over.
