I know that it seems to take an act of Congress to get a lane violation called in the NBA. But it WAS actually a point of emphasis this season.
The rule is different from others.
First of all, the violator is given the opportunity to get back to a legal position BEFORE the shot is released.
If he/she (WNBA) does, then no violation.
Also, since there is no violation until the ball is released, you often see players taking a lane space AFTER the ball is placed at the shooters disposal. Perfectly legal.
