This rule has been added to high school basketball maybe 3 years ago or so. On the 2nd freethrow, players in the lane must wait for the ball to hit the rim before they can enter the lane to grab the rebound. In my opinion that is dumb. They say that it was added so that there is not advantage to the team with the inside position. Well if a player gets a free shot at the freethrow line and can't hit it then the advantage should go to the team with inside position. I feel the team with players who can't make freethrows should have no more of an advantage to get the rebound. Is this just a California Stae rule in high school or has this been applied in all states? Let me know what you think world?

It is also a law in Pennsylvania. I think it is stupid i never really understtod the purpose for it though. I have seen plenty of lane violations(and gotten a few myself) because of this rule.

It is in NC as well, or it was when I played. I agree a stupid rule. If you can not make your free shot then you should not be able to regain advantage for being a no shooting bastard.
