Lane Violation

[Trent]

Is it possible to get a copy of your hand out of "misunderstood" basketball rules?

If they don't have "Winnebago" on their shirt, they can't camp out in the lane....lol

Is the player gaining an advantage or falling asleep watching the paint dry? Some youth levels need to be less strict on calls of this nature. Our board interperter has discussed this a few times. If the player has the ball and starts to make his/her move to shoot (including a fake one way then pivot and shoot the other) he has started his shooting so let him go. Even if the move starts when you are up to 3 seconds, give him a few more seconds to finish the shot. This is a CALL the coaches yell about and feel we don't call enough of. I run the youth league in my town, and go over a hand out of "misunderstood" basketball rules with the coaches before the season begins. This eliminates alot of the yelling and moaning for things they have no reason to get excited over. Good luck.
