The Rule we are discussing was adopted about 20 years ago. I played and officiated H.S. basketball for many years before this Rule was adopted. And when I played the boys'/girls' H.S. and men's college Rule was that no Player could enter the FT Lane until after the FTA had made contact with the Basket Ring.

A Player knew the Rule. And if A1 was at the FT Line and B1 faked A2 into the FT Lane before the Ball it the Basket Ring then shame on A2. I still think the Rule protects A2 from his own poor play.

And, yes she was. She grew up in Tornado Alley in Eastern Kansas. I spent many summers on my maternal grandparents' farm and saw a few tornadoes.

I did not think MTD would take that stance. Indeed, would he then allow shooters to fake? I am doubting it. Also, I wonder if he feels the same way about disconcertion/distraction?

Yelling at an opponent during common play = strategic trickery.

Yelling at a free thrower with purpose of distracting them = unsporting trickery.

He mentioned his comments being directed towards "..this narrow situation." Did he mean specifically that situation or the situation of a FT?

(Respectfully, there is lots of teasing in my post MTD)

During those tornadoes, you didn't happen to see this gal blowing around in the wind, did you?
