Interesting Scenario

Let the shooter shoot one extra free throw then tell the violating team to line up. If they don't...while you still have the ball...issue the T for the actionless contest stuff and preventing the ball from becoming live. The same cite used by the case book.

The only difference is the case book scenario is after a timeout and the posted senario is after a foul. I'd vote to change a rule somewhere if it means consistent penalties for the same infraction. One action after a timeout should have the same penalty if it's the same action...but it's after a foul.

The violating team is lining up though. Every time. They are not committing the lane line violations until the live ball has left the shooter's hands on the free throw. That's the difference between what we're discussing and the case play, and it's a major difference-- live ball violation vs. dead ball violation.
