I see a violation 9-7, leaving the free throw semi-circle. How could you have gooten to 15?
I agree with the idea that this should have been a no-call. At that point in a tightly contested game, it is not the time to pull out the 1st 10 second count that probably either team has had all year. I see no advantage gained here by the offending (unlike ignoring a backcourt 10 sec or a 3 sec count). I would expect a much more egregious violation to make this call here.
On the other hand, in the 1st quarter, make the call without warning. If it continues, make the call all game, including in this situation.
