Agree. It prevents showboat "Globetrotter" type of shots that are deemed not to be part of the game.

Agree, but just to be clear, the violation is not for bouncing in the lane. The bounce simply ends the free throw, as if a normal free throw had missed and then been rebounded. The violation is for a legal free throw which failed to strike the ring or enter the basket before the free throw ended.
