Does she land on or over the FT line?
Does the ball contact the rim or backboard prior to her landing?

By rule, neither matters.

I thought all players could cross their plane after the ball hits?

That's correct. But the plane is crossed (your current post) before the player lands (the prior post).

(again, all "by rule" and not how it's necessarily called)

Got it!

Yeah it would be tough to make this call consistently on the same kid every time she shot it.
But you could always be preventative & ask her to Nick Van Exel it

She is lands on the line every time she shoots. Just guessing on my part but I assume the FT is about 2 inches thick. It's not like she jumps clear across the line. She comes down on the line with her right foot before the ball makes any contact.
