Rules  

In an effort to reduce rough play in free-throw situations in high school basketball, the two marked lane spaces closest to the end line will be vacant effective with the 2008-09 season.

This revision in Rule 8-1-4 was one of three changes approved by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) Basketball Rules Committee at its annual meeting in Indianapolis. The changes were subsequently approved by the NFHS Board of Directors.

2008-09 Rules Changes
