I only ask to make you think about the play. What would your answer have been had someone questioned you on the spot. He may have gotten an advantage in your opinion but you when you blow your whistle for a violation you need to be able to back it up with a rule.

Here's the NCAA rule: 9-1.2.g. Players not in a legal marked lane space shall remain behind the freethrow line extended and behind the three-point field-goal line until the ball strikes the ring, flange or backboard, or until the free throw ends.
