I swear I read this somewhere and that is why I started saying it in the first place. I got annoyed when they were doing it and then I came across the rule one day and was like sweet. However, I can not find it now. Can anyone else help me out?

Not likely since it has never been the rule.

"4) Guidelines to enforce illegal contact. Escalating fight situations can often be traced back to illegal contact not being properly enforced and penalized. Examples of illegal contact are:
Contact between players in free throw lane spaces prior to the ball contacting the ring a. It is illegal to physically contact an opponent prior to the ball legally contacting the ring."

This appeared in the final two sentences of this season's POEs.
However, there is absolutely no justification for it in the rules book.

Like all fouls, it is more than just contact that makes it a foul. I doubt they really meant a foul should be called if the two players brush elbows.

Don't get too excited. The most important part of Nevada's post is the last sentence.

As a POE without rules, case, or interpretation backing, this provision is not enforceable.

If one is going to say anything like this, at least get the rule correct. "No contact before it hits.", without any reference to the rim, should do the trick.
