Awkward Free Throw Form

[tarheelcoach]

I called a game yesterday where a kid managed to draw three different lane violations with his form. He went right to the point where you would normally release the shot 2-3 times before he actually shot the ball, each time it looked like he was going to shoot right until the end, when he abruptly stopped.
The other coach complained that the kid was doing it intentionally, but I stated that since he used the same form on his first free throws, it was just his routine, and was perfectly fine.
Was I right? If the kid didn't do this on his first shot, what would you call if he did it on the second one?
