I would like to discuss my dumbest rules. The first rule is the substitution. I don't understand why the "check in" is necessary. If you are a disqualified player and go in, then the table can buzz you and you can issue a technical foul. Being an ex hockey player, I don't have anything against changing on the fly providing we are working three man!!!
The new two man mechanic for time out positioning makes no sense to me. Luckily we haven't had alot of coaches asking where the ball will be put in play, but the old way seems to make more sense to me. I understand that they are doing this to mirror the three man, but with two man there is alot more distance to cover for both officials.
I could see three seconds in the lane treated like breaking the plane on a throw in. Have a warning and then a technical foul. That would eliminate "camping" and would make for alot more movement through the lane.
I would like for all officials to know the difference between a fumble and a dribble. If you don't know, please check out the definitions and get this call right.
I think that dunking in warmups should be allowed prior to the 10 minute mark. If one team can't dunk, too bad. In most varsity games up here in the sticks, a team has one or two dunkers per team but they can't make it happen in the game. Give the crowd what they came to see. Also, hanging on the rim would be penalized with a T.
Here is a rule I would like to see added. Give the coach one card that reads "I am stupid and don't know the rules". When he violates this rule, he loses his card. If he violates again, he is gone. We can't enforce this for the fans, so I guess we will just have to go with the coach!
Sorry for the ranting, but it is the day after Christmas and I don't have anything else to think about!
Have a Happy New Year!!
