You can think this all you like it doesn't make it true. Neither does calling a displacement foul on the first of 2 FT's. It better have been pretty egregious to make this call IMO. I would have had a chat with the player in the second lane space and if it happened again then I would make the call. But no way in hell, unless intentional or flagrant am I calling this on the FIRST of 2 FT's.

The only thing it will illustrate is how well you know the rules (or don't) when you adjudicate all the action after you call the foul. I will also mention that as much as we are being asked to call the displacement of players in the lane on a FT the expectation is usually on a miss, or that the displacement is of the egregious type. The last thing everyone/anyone (coaches, assignors and partners) wants is a bunch of displacement fouls on made baskets.
