I did not call a violation since her foot was behind the FT line when she actually shot the ball. As I look through the rule book all I see is 9-1-1 that says "the try shall be attempted from within the FT semicircle and behind the FT line."
So, is placing the foot on the line and then putting it behind the line (after the ball is live) prior to shooting the FT a violation?

Yep, violation per 9-1-3e.
"
After the ball is placed at the disposal of a free thrower:..."
"
The free thrower shall not have either foot beyond the vertical plane of the
edge of the free-throw line which is farther from the basket or the free throw
semicircle line."
