I understand that dislodging would be a foul for sure, but is the player in the marked lane space required to wait until it HITS now to break the free throw line since the free throw shooter must wait?

Thanks!

Restrictions end for those along the lane when the shot is released.

Dislodging or pushing is a foul.

That about covers it.

In almost all jurisdictions, but not all.

So how are the rules written for NCAA Men and women? NCAA Players in marked spaces are allowed to enter the lane upon release
