Your statement that crossing the line always results in contact is just wrong. I agree with you that it is dumb for defense to do it. That's why I'm fine with rule. If somebody does cross line without contact they should still be penalized.

Lately? I've been criticizing the rule since it came out last spring. I was one of the first ones to call it out for being a$$ backwards in its first iteration before the NFHS had to come back and fix it, while some hard heads in here were saying that there was nothing wrong.

Keep officiating simple. All they had to do was make a point of emphasis to protect the free-throw shooter.
