Violation or Rebounding Foul - priority?
From the POE and the mechanics change, it appears that the NFHS is more concerned with being able to see the lane violation than being able to referee the rebounding action. As lead looking across the lane you are straghtlined for that rebound foul. Have no idea if player was pushed from behind or if he himself jumped forward.
I think the NCAA mechanic of same side is a better situation. Rather miss a lane violation for breaking the plane (how many of these actually get called?) than a rebounding foul. Looking at same side we can definitely see if a player actuallly stepped into the lane prior to the ball hitting the rim and that is more likely to lead to a violation call.
