But I don't understand this one:
"4-11-1 Clarifies that continuous motion applies to a try or tap for field goals and free throws, when there is a foul by any defensive player, not just a defensive foul on the shooter."
Does this mean that the shot is good, if it goes, as long as the foul was during the "continuous motion"? Wasn't that always the rule? Even for a defensive foul away from the ball?

You are correct, Juulie. It's always been that way. Nothing in the "Editorial Changes" is supposed to be a rule change....just a rewording to clarify misunderstandings of the original rule.
However, last year's committee used it to actually change a rule by imparting their interpretation of a foot on the line regarding LGP.
As you said, this is the most minimal set of changes for as long as I've been doing this. It seems they could reduce the frequency of changes to be bi-yearly and just increase the cost of the books to offset the income difference.
