FT Violations

If the players are allowed to enter that area, then the free thrower should be allowed to leave the semi circle to avoid a player trying to box them out on a long rebound.

The free throw shooter has released the ball so it's not the same as defending a throw-in. You have listed no advantage of crossing the free throw line other than the free-throw shooter doesn't get to do the same. Like I said, all the defender is going to do is cause illegal contact if he crosses the free throw line so what is the advantage?

And again I'm concerned about the officiating aspect which you are not addressing. Having to a call a violation followed by foul is very convoluted. Let's just call the foul and move on with the game.
