I don't see how we can assume the same thing applies to the shooter when it is specified to be just for the players along the lane. My theory (someone may have information to the contrary) was that this was added to stop a player leaving the back of the space trying to come around to gain inside rebounding position.
Besides, has anyone ever seen the shooter lose his balance and touch the floor with his hand to regain it?
