I agree we should enforce the lane violations rule as it is, but there's no harm in talking about whether the release vs. ring contact is better for the game. I also prefer the former, but until the NFHS agrees, I'll call the early entry as it was agreed.
The rule was initially changed because officials weren't properly officiating rebounding action on FTs. I would expect a POE before a rule change.

We have no problem enforcing it here. I have to ask refiator, though, just how early are they entering?
