Like when we went back to moving into the lane on the release. IAABO alone came out with an interpretation not to allow a player on the lane to cross the free throw line until the ball hit. The NFHS eventually did come out with that interpretation, but it was a full year after the IAABO unilateral interpretation came out.

Last year it was "Concussion Headbands – No Restrictions". Where did that come from? Left field?

Let's not throw out the baby with the bath water. Overall, within it's purpose, which is educating basketball officials, IAABO is a great organization.
