To me it looked like the thrower started his motion, an OU player (Isiah Cousins) stepped into the lane (from the top lane space), and then the thrower paused momentarily before attempting the free throw. There was some movement along the lane, so I don't know if either team violated as a result of the thrower's motion or the initial player stepping into the lane, but I thought the whistle came before the thrower released the ball suggesting there were multiple infractions. My thought was that they judged Cousin's violation to have caused the interruption in the thrower's motion, and that is why they tried to kill it before the shot.

The OU player was hoping to get the Baylor players to tip their hand on how they were going to approach the rebound and tip-in. I don't think the intent was to violate until the Baylor player made the free-throw, but rather just get some information.
