Intentional Foul Against Free Throw Shooter ...

Previous to the 2015-16 season, as the NFHS was changing (again) from "hit" to "release" on free throws, International IAABO interpreter, Peter Webb, may have jumped the gun and come out with comments regarding the free throw shooter being a "sitting duck" and that if the shooter was fouled, it should be an intentional foul. I believe that his comments appeared in IAABO's Sportorials magazine. Referee magazine may have played a minor role in this confusion. I remember that I was embarrassed to be an IAABO member because it's IAABO's role to train officials, it's not the role of IAABO to make rule changes, or to interpret rules.

Jumped The Gun ...

Once the NFHS decided (again) to go from "hit" to "release" they stumbled through the process, taking two seasons to get it straight, particularly with a Point of Emphasis regarding lane restrictions for the shooter that was only a Point of Emphasis with no corroborating rule support in the Rulebook. IAABO (that is only supposed to train officials and isn't supposed to change rules, or interpret rules) added gasoline to the fire when they came up (some say unilaterally, some say after consulting with the NFHS) with their own interpretation of this fiasco. An article in IAABO's Sportorials magazine, and maybe an article in Referee magazine may have spread misinformation. Somehow the idea of an intentional foul against the free throw shooter entered into this botched situation, that was already confusing enough, and then shit hit the fan. It took the NFHS two seasons to clarify, and it took IAABO getting into its proper place in the back seat, but it all eventually got straightened out. Stupid NFHS. Stupid IAABO.

But I think that at the time the Peter made his intepretation he was the NFHS Basketball Rules Committee Chairman. MTD, Sr.
