So Camron, Are you saying that this constitutes a FT violation? If so, I don't interpret it that way. I concede that you certainly have a case to argue, but I argue for the opposite side.

Does a player in a marked lane space who keeps his feet in their proper location, but bends down and puts his hand on the floor inside the lane violate any of the provisions of 9-1?

Art. 5 Is putting a hand on the floor in the lane disconcertion?
I doubt it.

Art. 6 Is it leaving a marked lane space?
I don't think so.

Art. 9 ...may not have either foot beyond... blah, blah... Seems to only restrict the feet, not the hands/arms, etc.

I just can't find any rule that is being violated. I also checked the specific language of 4-35 and 9-7.
