Same restrictions? How about their location on the lane, defense inside, offense farther out. The "inside" position is always a big advantage in rebounding.

Of course he does, but not in rebounding. He gets to take a fifteen foot shot, taking up to ten seconds to release it, with no defenders in his face trying to block his shot. Of course, that didn't help me in high school. I had an easier time making a put back with a defender than making an uncontested free throw.

Ergo the defense has all the advantage it needs, so why are we concerned that changing the rule to the release would be "unfair" for the defense?

The other thing is the violation isn't called in half the high school games I watch. Might as well just make the change.

I totally agree.

And I call this violation, but I seem like the only one that does. The rule was stupid to begin with. Why are we worried about this and act like the game is so rough in this area? All it does is cause other issues IMO.
