I'm glad you see the ridiculousness of that argument. I'm just saying that freedom/restrictions should be all-encompassing, so I have no problem with the rule.

I didn't have the rule come up this year. I don't mind it though because i've seen kids cross the FT line in the past and the shooter may step back quick etc to avoid contact. No contact so no foul. FT shooter shouldn't have to worry about knees when following through etc. The violation provides a penalty even though shooter avoided the contact. I also don't mind the double penalty when there is contact--violation and foul. As BNR stated, not necessary to back into FT shooter. Other players entering lane on release make it less likely FT shooter will get rebound unless he leaves early.
