Lane Violation & Foul

For "regular" free throw violations, it is, indeed, the feet and the boundary plane (as well as the touch in the lane, which was added a few years ago as a casebook play). Since the switch to the "release", the violation for crossing the free throw line by a "rebounder" has never been clarified by the NFHS.

With that in mind, everyone take a look at Freddy's third video. I don't think the defender's feet cross the free-throw line before the restrictions end, but her butt sure does, and there IS a foul there (not disputing that). So....is there also a delayed violation here? I agree with Billy; the new rule is not clear and may need a little editing.

BTW, these and the other dozen or so video clips I have of this violation and subsequent follow-up foul were from 2 years ago. Because this "new" rule was already in force last year by the POE, and our guys around here did a pretty good job of policing it, I could find not one similar situation of all the video that I reviewed from last year. So as I say it should disappear. Plus a lot of the occurrences are so close that they don't merit a violation, however preventive officiating takes care of it after that.
