Chuck,
I guess it's easier to see the "Plane" violation from the front.

I agree.
Chuck -

I'm like you. I wish the NFHS mechanic would change to the NCAA one. It's much easier to watch the lane line closest to you. In addition, something I learned at camp this summer validates the NCAA mechanic, especially as the L.

If you're the L, watching your side of the FT lane, you can get a much wider angle (where you can see the front of the rim), which allows you to see space between the player on the lowest block and the player on the second block. The contention is that these are the two players that will give you the most problems during FT rebounding situations. I never thought about it before camp this summer, but it really is true.

Try it in your next game and see if you don't agree -- like anywhere else on the court, seeing space between opponents is the key.
