Those players may not, with their foot, break the outside edge of the free throw line until the ball contacts the backboard or basket ring. Chances are that the rule will be edited (re-written) for 2015-16.
Since Connecticut is a 100% IAABO state, then this is all that I need to start my season with a clear understanding of the rule.

But I would still like to know what role the NFHS played in this debacle.
