Nick & Hawk, I guess there are essentially 3 things you can fiddle with on FT's:
- who stands where
- where in each space you can stand
- when players are allowed to move
Over the last few years NCAA has been doing more than their fair share of fiddling, sometimes (edit to add the mens & womens sides) agreeing and sometimes not. During most of this time the fed has been mostly silent (I think they changed back to moving on the hit instead of release 5 yrs ago?). As Mick & Jeff pointed out the fed's change this yr is to mimic the NCAA men's side in one particular area (who stands where) - and in this particular aspect there is a *huge* difference between the men's & women's side. The fed clearly came down this year on liking the men's way of doing things, IMO. Whether this continues remains to be seen.
BTW, like Rut I also think that the NCAA men's way of lining 'em up is good because it lets you focus better on the players under the basket. None of that silly "box out the shooter" stuff.
