They are incorrect because of the modifier "when the ball leaves the free thrower's hands". Here's the logic breakdown:

(((A + B) • C) ≡ (D ⊃ V))

V = Violation
A = "B1 leaves the marked lane space"
B = when the ball leaves the free thrower's hand(s)"
C = "breaks the plane of the free throw line"
D = "before restrictions end for the free thrower"

Very tricky. Hopefully the formula I came up with is correct, maybe someone can correct it. It's been awhile since my college logic class. I'm gonna fire up LogiCola and give this a run through. Either way I'd tell your state that they have a shitty question.

+1 Nice!
