Might not be complicated for people that have been playing for 10 + years. But I can see how newcomers might be confused. More than newcomers even ... I can't remember the last time I saw someone mark a lie correctly, when the basket is not the direction of the throw.

If newcomers are taught properly from the start, it wouldn't be confusing at all. Problem is few newcomers are taught the rules properly. Then those newcomers become experienced players teaching more newcomers, and it snowballs. It's how practically all misunderstood, misinterpreted or just plain non-rules rules get spread around.

Uncalled foot faults are still a much larger issue, regardless of what the proper way is to place your mini.

A good move is to check with your group if your stance looks okay in a situation where you might feel that it is questionable.
