Too Early in the Lane

[bob jenkins]

It has gone back and forth over the years, and is discussed almost every year (at least for the years that I saw the meeting summaries).

If it's an issue in GA, then have the GAHSA (or whatever it is called) put up a copuple of videos and have the videos affect the post-season assignements for a couple of officials. That will get everyone on board quickly.

True. When I started it was on the "hit", then it went to the release, and now it's back to the "hit". NFHS explained the most recent change was to cut down on rebounding fouls.

I think the rule should go back to being on the release. It think the rational for changing the rule was always stupid to begin with. And it would allow all levels to be similar so that we do not have to split hairs on if a violation took place. A POE is not going to change that fact IMO.

You still have to "split hairs" because the players still try to "cheat" and enter just before the ball is released.

Yeah and seeing it on the release is easier to judge IMO.
