Also ridiculous was calling a double lane violation at the time it was called. It literally took a Pelicans point off the board and made a jump ball situation, I've never seen that call before and they pulled it in at a critical time.

I am not sure I completely understand the rule. I will say if you look up the rules on NBA free throw shooting they could call violations every damn play.

quote:

PENALTY:

A. If the free throw attempt is to remain in play and a teammate of the shooter violates, no point can be scored and the opposing team will inbound on either sideline at the free throw line extended. If an opponent violates, the shooter shall receive a substitute free throw if his attempt is unsuccessful but shall be ignored if the attempt is successful. If a teammate and opponent both violate, a jump ball shall be administered at midcourt between any two opponents in the game.

B. If the free throw attempt is not to remain in play, no violation can occur regardless of which player or players violate since no advantage is gained unless there is a disconcertion violation by an opponent to which a substitute free throw will be awarded.

So even if the player makes the free throw a jump ball occurs with a double violation? That seems like a strange rule and I am unsure how it is is considered in that the free throw is in play.
