A player occupying a marked lane space may not have either foot beyond the vertical plane of the outside edge of any lane boundary, or beyond the vertical plane of any edge of the space

Tony, the above quote by shishstripes is NOT what the NFHS wrote. It is his attempt to paraphrase the actual NFHS clarification. Unfortunately, in doing so, he altered the core of the meaning which incorrectly gave the impression that the NFHS had changed something which they didn't.

The actual text of the NFHS clarification is below. It still should probably be classified as a change or the addition of a new definition, but it is not anything as drastic as what shishstripes wrote.

9-1-3d Clarified that a player leaves a marked lane space when he or she
contacts any part of the court outside the marked lane space (36 inches
by 36 inches).
