Foul During Free Throw (Fool the Official)

And what about that is even a violation?

White 30's left foot is clearly outside the prescribed boundries of his free throw space (also noted by JMF in post #10)...emphasized by the fact that he is more or less pushing the opponent with his butt as well.

Clearly outside of a spaced defined by a line you can't even see on the video? That line is barely visible once the players clear the area with no shoes/legs obstructing your view. You just can't tell if he is or is not out of his space. The most you can be sure of is that he is near the boundary.

And his butt means absolutely nothing in the context of the violation. A foul, maybe. But not a violation.

I disagree. Enlarge to full screen and you can see the player put his left foot ON the lane space boundry line. I'll agree the butt-push is irrelevant in terms of a violation.

I did enlarge to full screen in the highest resolution available in that video on a pretty good size monitor.You can see that the foot is very close and maybe on the line, but no more. To claim otherwise is simply not supportable by the video.
