I think the rim rule benefits whoever can stretch that rule without getting nailed, while release is more equal to all. It is interesting to see the comment about going a bit early as long as your foot doesn't come down before the ball hits rim. I have never coached that way, but may start teaching it.

I think that when we play rim, we lose a lot of rebounds to teams that leave that tiny bit earlier than the actual moment the ball hits rim. Since we play more games on release than on rim, I hadn't really given it that much thought, but it has been a problem this winter. May need to change my instructions to the girls - I will be watching closer now anyway!
