3) Rule 9-1-articles 6-9-NOTE = Change the restrictions in Articles 6 through 9 to apply until the ball leaves the shooter's hand.
Many high school officials do not do a good job of calling lane violations. This would make it consistent with college basketball. Officials then will need to "step up" and call illegal contact that occurs during rebounding positioning for free throws.
I like the present rule. It eliminates unnecessary contact when a FT is made. Otherwise, there's a lot of contact, legal and illegal, which there is no need for because there is no rebound since the FT was good.
The full TO signal is one I would like to see. I'm not really that crazy about any of the other sugestions. I think the HS game is a different game than college or pro and, therefore, needs different rules and mechanics.
