I had more than a few occasions where the players who weren't in marked lane spaces violated by breaking the plane of the 3-point line/FTLE because they thought the new rule applied to them. Some of their coaches believed that to be the case as well. I know there were some worries expressed here that those violations might increase, I just didn't think folks would be that clueless.

Silly me.

At my camp this summer, this is what our contact from the state office told us the new rule now allowed.

Jet met, this is the same problem that I saw. Shooters and those on the lane lines did fine. Many coaches and players thought the "on the release applied to everyone except the shooter.

I experienced this early in the summer season too......"oh, just in the lane spaces? Got it ref."

Even go the question, "Can the shooter leave on the release?" several times.
