No survey here, just IAABO International Play Commentary:

Free Throw Administration and Contact. After bouncing the ball to the shooter, the Lead should back out of the lane (without turning their back to the players). The Lead is responsible for the farther lane line spaces and first space on nearer lane line. White #14 in the lower lane space enters the lane too soon and commits a violation not penalized by the Lead. The Center is responsible for the free thrower, second and third lane spaces on farther lane line, and flight of ball. (Man. p. 213-214)

After the ball is in flight, the Lead and the Center's focus now should change to their side of basketline for normal rebound coverage. (Man. p. 144-145) White #14 obtains a legal rebounding position in the lane. Green #35 uses his lower torso to displace White #14 as the ball comes off the ring. This contact is illegal and should be ruled a pushing foul. Once the free throw is released, The Center official should step down toward the endline instead of back toward the sideline as demonstrated on this play. (Man. p.211)

Yeah, I see the free throw violation, but I don't think that there's a foul.

Thoughts?
