For that matter, half of these are pretty basic concepts. It seems this is more of a basic refresher than it is a clarification of confusing or ambiguous situations.

The reason for this is obvious: the Fed, monitoring this forum, realizes that all true controversial questions and ambiguous situations are effectively, clearly, and expeditiously settled here on our discussion board, such that they really have nothing new to publish. So they've gotta settle for the hum-drum refresher situations.
Or am I just getting cocky?

If that were truly the case, there would be the handful to idiotic interpretations and editorial changes that NFHS is notorious for.

And I got to agree with Camron...a lot of these interpretations, there are applicable case book plays that clearly spell out some of these situations.

I agree. #4 is there because it's a POE, but it doesn't add anything.

SITUATION 11: While the ball is in flight on a free throw by A1, A4 breaks the plane of the three-point line with his/her foot before the ball hits the ring, backboard or the free throw ends. RULING: A4 has committed a free-throw violation. The official should sound the whistle immediately and award the ball to Team B for a throw-in at a spot nearest the violation. (Rule 9-1-3f; 9-1-4 Penalty 1a)

Unless, of course, there is another free throw to be attempted.

Quite honestly, with the exception of #8, this is a complete waste of time and space.
