Since the game hadn't started yet, I was tempted to pull out "the book". I did not. I just told the girls, "when in Flint, do as Flint does."
Is that a case where it may have been OK for me to whip out the rule book, pregame? |
Yes, and you would have been half embarrassed as the NFHS provision specifies one foot must be 'near' the lane line. New clarification this year found in very front of 2009-2010 Rules book
Editorial Change
9-1-3g Clarified that a player occupying a marked lane space must have
one foot positioned near the outer edge of the free-throw lane line
with the other foot positioned anywhere within the designated 36-
inch lane space
