King for a day

I'd like to see NFHS mirror the NCAA and allow players into the lane on the release of a free throw, rather than waiting for the rim.

Is that actually in the NCAA rules? Or is that one of those things that nobody enforces?

It's in the rules; just like it was in the NFHS rules way back when I played (ca. 1990). The restrictions end on the release; except for the players not along the lane and the shooter, for whom the restrictions end when the ball hits either the backboard or the rim.

I personally think the players in the lane on the release is LESS rough than on the rim, and now with the players up a spot should be revisited.

I will never understand what people have against quarters in high school basketball.

It's not a huge deal. I think it would add to the natural flow of the game. The coaches have plenty of time-outs to adjust to things as needed. Does anyone currently have that in place in there state? If so, what are your opinions?

Section 1. Free Throw

Art. 2. After the ball is placed at the disposal of a free-thrower:
...
d. The free-thrower shall not enter the semicircle. The free-thrower shall not leave the semicircle before the try contacts the ring, backboard or when the free throw ends.
e. No player shall enter or leave a marked lane space or contact any part of the court outside the marked lane space until the free-thrower has released the ball.
