However, there is a huge problem with that ruling....
It can not be a technical foul. The ball isn't dead at the time of the violation. It is a "delayed" violation. The ball remains live until the shot is made or missed. The delayed nature of the violation doesn't retroactively make the ball dead, it is as if the violation occurred when/after the shot is missed.
If the ball were to be dead at the time a defender illegally crosses a into the lane, there would be no way a FT shooter could ever make a shot on a defensive violation.
If the shot is missed before the defender enters the semi-circle, it can't be a violation (unless they just entered the lane early) and the ball would be live...meaning it wouldn't be a technical.
The really need to rethink this one.

I agree. The technical foul part really surprised me. We have much to talk about at our first meeting.
