What if the player is behind the 3 point line and runs and jumps while the free throw is in flight but the jumper does not land until after the ball touches the rim?
I think it is a violation due to 9-1-3g in the 1st case and 9-1-3e in the second case bc they have broken the plane. Do the players have to touch in the lane or is mearly breaking the plane with their foot enough for a violation?

You've read the rule and it clearly says "breaking the plane."
(Now, how strictly it's called will vary by area)
