I see in the new rulebook that for 2014-2015 they are going back to the old ways for FT's:
"A player occupying a marked lane space...may enter the lane on the release of the ball by the free throw
shooter."
If I remember right, the rational for changing it to "when the ball touches the rim" was to eliminate the physical play that was occurring in the lane on free throw attempts. (I may be wrong on this, the memory isn't what it used to be.) Anyone know the rational for changing it back to what it used to be? Any thoughts on whether this benefits the defensive or offensive rebounder more?
