Lane Violations

Is it just me or are players getting worse about entering the lane too early on Free Throws? This seems to have gotten worse and worse over the past 3-4 years. Should this be NFHS Point of Emphasis before the NBA destroys the high school game?

Guessing the NCAA is "destroying" the high school game by allows players to enter in on the release as well?

I dunno if I'd say it's gotten worse. IMO, it can be difficult for players to sit there and wait, for what must seem like a long time, for the ball to hit the ring/backboard and enter the lane. That and some officials don't like to get this call unless it's blatant.

If you were a true purist, you'd want it to go back to the way it was, just like the NCAA rule. I don't see it here, probably because we call it.

It is not getting worse IMO, it is just about the same. You have some players and certainly coaches that do not know the rule after all these years and act like you are making it up when they violate.

And, More Importantly, Where Are My Car Keys ???

Quick question for really experienced veterans. Is it just my imagination, but hasn't the NFHS gone from "hit" to "release" back to "hit" over the past thirty-plus years?

Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.: It's probably too cold in Ohio for you to go up into your attic "library", so just give me an answer from memory, if you have any memory left at your age.
