I think I understand the advantage/disadvantage argument and agree that extra lane time does not necessarily impart any advantage to the violator, but I also notice the rules don't make that distinction. It appears to be consistent with others in the area I'll have to go to the warning as well.

As for the TO drill, I haven't found anyone else who works it quite like my P did....but I'm not complaining about how he handled it, I had just never encountered it before that night. Then again, as a rookie, I can say that I encounter something new at pretty much each game I call!
To muddy your waters a little more--just remember that an offensive post player that's getting 5 or 6 seconds in the lane every trip, may well be dragging a second defender with him---that leaves another shooter with a better look than what he might have had otherwise. Even though a bit latent, it seems like a hell of an advantage to me. But I think I was always in the minority on this one. Just food for thought.
