Cross the free throw line? Into the semicircle?

Foot across the plane of the free throw line (like free throw lane violations)?

Hand across the plane of the free throw line (like inbound defender crossing boundary line)?

Do we use the free throw line plane closest to the basket, or the free throw line plane farthest from the basket?

Any part of body touching the inside of the semicircle (like a player touching out of bounds, planes do not apply)?

Nitpicking? Yes. But other free throw violations are spelled out in such detail.

Doesn't anybody want to try to read the mind of the NFHS and tell us exactly what cross the free throw line into the semicircle literally means?

Well, I just got back from camp and we were told you could not put a foot on or across the free throw line until the ball hit the rim.

Hope along with me that they have the presence of mind to clarify this with an unannounced change that will be apparent to us when the new books come out mid-October. As well as a coupla other things yet begging clarification.

What's the mess?

The fact that the committee's intent doesn't match up with the rules as written. Instead of actually rewriting the rules the NFHS just patches over it with interpretations.
