Chuck,how do you define the time span "discovered while being violated"?

Seriously, I don't see any reasonable way you could say that the kid is violating the rule when he's halfway to the locker room already. Did he violate? Obviously. Is he violating now? Obviously not.
If it's discovered while he's still shooting the FTs, penalize it. If it's discovered after the FTs, I think you have to eat it.

Chuck take a look at casebook play 10.3.2,which pertains to a player participating who has previously been disqualified. Note the sentence in the Ruling--"The infraction is penalized any time that it is discovered while the rule is being violated".The player's participation,and thus his continuing violation,doesn't end with the completion of the FT's.The rule is still being violated by that player as long as he is one of the 5 legal players on the floor for his team.If that player is one of the five legal players on the floor,isn't he violating right up until the time that game is over(which is when the officials leave the floor)?The player has never been substituted out,so the violation has to be continuous.
