From the officiating.com article: "The committee reviewed data from the Georgia High School Association, which experimented with the free-throw lane change last year. According to data from the experiment, the number of fouls during free-throw rebounding action was reduced," said Mary Struckhoff, NFHS assistant director and staff liaison to the Basketball Rules Committee. "At the same time, defensive rebounding percentages fell within an acceptable range. This data was the most compelling the committee had seen to date."
I guess you can just keep doing studies until you find one that makes everybody happy?
