Shooters seem more likely to get rebounds now, I'd like to see the lane restrictions end on the release.

Both of my stints as an official have been leaving when it hits the rim. Not sure how, as lead, I would be easily able to see the shooter's release since I am focusing on the players across from me with the rim in sight. (Along with the player in the first lane space closest to me, of course). If that change is made, I will surely be coming here for advice.

It is really not any different than watching for it to hit the rim and watching the players. When player can enter on the release, you no longer care about the rim and can shift your focus a little more towards the shooter....maybe taking a slight closer position.

I think they might wait another year if the mechanics manual needs an update.

Great? Are they going to switch the side that the trail, and lead, observe? Again?

I don't think that has been changed in many years.

I have mixed feelings on this. The rule is definitely not being enforced as it should. NFHS either needs to make this a serious POE or move on and change it. IMHO.

NFHS has made it a POE in the past. The reality of the situation is NFHS has no power to make sure this is enforced. The only thing they can do is change the rule. Just like when they changed the leaving the court for an unauthorized reason (or was it excessive swinging of the elbows?) from a T to a violation because officials weren't calling it.

Both.


In the case of the former I know of one case where one official made this call,improperly,20 times in a game back when this was a T.
