mods... what is the forum policy on plagiarism?

why would they make this change without letting them in on the release?

i don't understand the change if they don't allow them in on the release.

won't it really diminish the chance of an offensive rebound?

"they" want the defense to get the FT rebound so it's a good thing.
In fact that's part of the reason ncaa men's went to that lineup, decreases the odds of offensive rebounds.

no offense to anyone, but when was the last time Kentucky was an accurate barometer for what was going on in the rest of the country

I sometimes wonder how long it's going to be before a state like texas just starts adopting NCAA rules. w/o a shot clock.

I think the answer to your question is yes, and I also wonder why they didn't change the restriction on entering the lane to the release, instead of the rim.

From my perspective, this change essentially returns the chances of a defensive rebound to a point close to where it was when less contact was allowed.

Since I've always had a thing for Jane Seymour, I'm in!

Especially since they've just opened up a lane space for me to stand in for the first of two free throws

From the officiating.com article: "The committee reviewed data from the Georgia High School Association, which experimented with the free-throw lane change last year. According to data from the experiment, the number of fouls during free-throw rebounding action was reduced," said Mary Struckhoff, NFHS assistant director and staff liaison to the Basketball Rules Committee. "At the same time, defensive rebounding percentages fell within an acceptable range. This data was the most compelling the committee had seen to date."

I guess you can just keep doing studies until you find one that makes everybody happy?

POE on slapping the backboard. I wonder what they're going to say on this? Too many officials calling it GT/BI? Not enough officials calling it a T? I'm all atwitter with anticipation

POE 5 is "Officials' Mechanics and Signals". My guess is this year they'll just be bagging at us to do what they tell us.
