When the changed the rule to "when it hits" instead of on the release it was to clean up rebounding fouls. Since then we have gone from 8 players in the lane to 6 players max. Also, last year they moved all the players up a spot, which significantly helped lessen rebounding fouls.
So, with the changes to the number of players on the lane as well as moving them up a spot, I think that the NFHS could go back to "on the release" without seeing an increase in rebounding fouls. However, this may be a case of "if it ain't broke don't fix it", so I doubt that we'll see this change anytime soon.
