One thread on the site currently talks about the FT shooter touching the line with his foot prior to shooting. It seemed the popular answer to ignore the call based on the theory/practice of advantage/disadvantage.
By rule, A/D applies to contact in determining whether it's a foul. Violations don't require advantage or disadvantage to be called. Line calls, illegal dribbling, traveling, 5 seconds, 10 seconds, etc., do not require advantage.

Frankly, at the high school level, I'm probably going to call this if I see it. Below that, I'll talk to the kid.
That is how I was told to apply Ad/Disad. However, i was a bit stunned by other threads implying they would let violations go based on adv/disadv. To me, this could make adv/disadv a bit too arbitrary in its application.
