ok call me confused or did you just contradict yourself? if the toes are "over hanging" (i would assume overhanging the line) that mean some of the foot is on the line ..and if on the line is in the box. how could my earlier observation be wrong?
I don't know what Rita's meaning of near the plate is, 1" or 2" or whatever..... take a pretty dang small foot to not be partly on the line and be near the plate. ( I dont want to get caught up on distances to the plate as they are irrelavant... the point of focus to my thinking is the other part of the foot and the line)
