Delayed Delayed violation?

Just my opinion though. Great question

Although there are some specific rules that permit taking a time out to "buy" a player back into the game (for blood or injury), the granting of a time out never uncalls any violation or foul nor does it ever cancel any penalty.

I have occasionally seen posts here that tried to say that if the defense violates on a free throw it's not a violation unless the shot is missed. That is absolutely not true. When B1 stepped into the lane, he violated. The penalty for that violation includes waiting to see if the free thrower makes the shot. If he does, "the violation is disregarded" (NFHS 9-1 Penalties 2-a)

There's nothing about granting a time out that undoes B1's violation, nor does it set aside the penalty. It merely delays the enforcement of the penalty for 30 or 60 seconds.
