Comments and summer observations that you have seen??

1. Yes. Every shooter's release is slightly different and when players are trying to time their entrance into the lane they often enter early. Bad rule change IMO.

2. We talking 2 or 3 person? 2 man requires calling out of your primary because the angles aren't that great. Calling out of primary doing 3 person might be just due to fewer experienced officials working summer ball.

3. Could be due to calling out of primary, but probably due to not knowing who has the best look at a play and being patient to let that person see the whole play start, develop, and finish. I called one just yesterday going away from me at C where I should have let Lead call the OOB instead of me call a foul.
