First, welcome APC. TH here.
Second, I like the rule. I think it eliminates all the banging and bumping on made FTs. I worked AAU tourneys the last two weekends and can tell you that the Women's NCAA rule is simply archaic. There's all this unnecessary contact on made FTs. It also give a big advantage to the shooting team. Yep, you heard me right. When the shot goes up, the shooter's teammate in the thrid space has a distinct advantage. If the defender moves into the lane, she can go around her to the baseline and gain inside position. I've seen it over and over again during the last two weekends. JMHO.
Glad to have you here, coach.
