Yeah, it has, but we have some middle school stuff in the fall.

The new 08-09 Rules Book is posted on the NFHS website. Unfortunately, there was a mistake and the BASEBALL Case Book was posted instead of the BASKETBALL Case Book.

I got my books on Saturday as well. Why did they move the players up on the FT? Do they just feel the need to change something every year?

To give the D a higher percentage of rebounds from missed free throws.

From NFHS:

FREE-THROW LANE SPACES CHANGED (8-1-4b, c and d): During a free throw, all players will move up one lane space, leaving the two marked lane spaces closest to the end line vacant. A new mark (2 inches by 8 inches) must be applied to the lane line near the free-throw line to designate the last 3-foot marked lane space. This rules change may reduce rough play during free-throw situations while maintaining defensive rebounding percentages within an acceptable range.
