All of this, in my estimation, falls under the paragraph on page 8, THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THE RULES. "....it is important to know the intent and purpose of a rule so that it may be intelligently applied in each play situation.
A player or a team should not be permitted an advantage which is not intended by a rule."
I think it is fair to say that this was not the intent of the lane violation rule. I believe that I did see this situation in a college game on TV once. After the second violation the official stepped in and said something while making the "T" sign. I assume it was something along the lines of: "Okay, guys, I see what you're trying to do. Next one will be a technical foul." There were no more violations.
