free throw lane violations

[Hawks Coach]

We are fairly consistently getting beat into the lane when we play rim vs when we play release. We hav ethe size and skill to block out.

I don't teach kids to cheat, but I will teach them to play to how the game is called. If not breaking the plane until ball strikes rim results in getting beat into the lane every time, we will need to go earlier like everyone else. Otherwise we give easy putbacks and get more shooting fouls (you are usually out of position for a good shot challenge as wlel when this happens).
