2015/16 NFHS Rule Interpretations

[Stat-Man]

I'm trying to figure out if the new POE applies only if the defender enters the lane early and contacts the free throw shooter.

If the defender waits until the ball hits the rim, and then incidentally contacts the shooter, is that still legal? Or, should it be called a foul as well?

I have a feeling the first time I enforce the POE, I'll be having a thrilling conversation with the coach.

Tell me about it. I had a MS-G game last week and had to look out for a potential foul against the free throw shooter. I was so concerned about that, I didn't see whether the ball hit/missed the rim.
