IAABO Play Commentary Correct Answer: This should have been ruled a free throw violation.

Green #14 in the lower lane space on the left side of the lane appears to break the plane of the lane line before the free throw shooter releases the try. A player occupying a marked lane space may not have either foot beyond the vertical plane of the outside edge of any lane boundary or beyond the vertical plane of any edge of the space designated by lane-space marks. (9-1-3g)

Since an opponent of the free-throw shooter committed this infraction, the Lead official correctly displays the delayed free-throw violation signal. When the try is unsuccessful, the official properly rules a violation on Green #14 and awards a substitute throw. (9-1-3g) Had the try been successful, the violation would have been disregarded by the officials. (9-1 Penalty 2.a)

Here is the breakdown of the IAABO members that commented on the video: This should have been ruled a free throw violation 90% (including me). There is no violation on this play 10%.
