Isn't there a rule about "shall not enter or leave a lane space?" Doesn't touching the lane mean that the player has left the lane space?

That's where all the fun and frivolity has ensued. You could say, as long as his feet are still in the space, that he hasn't left. And, he certainly was not in the space and now entering it. He's just in "more" than that space. And, the biggest issue is 9-1-9 that says only the feet can't be beyond the lane space marks. It doesn't say anything about being "in the lane", or "touching" the lane, etc. as far as free throws are concerned.
Of course, these are good points to argue if I was on the debate team in school. (I didn't have time for the debate team; chess club and science club took up too much time
) But realistically, I won't consider making that call until my last season.
