You mean the lobotomy?


Another rule others have mentioned that I believe has merit is allowing a fouled team in the last two minutes to choose to shoot free throws or inbound the ball.

One thing to consider about going to POI after a T - currently the penalty penalizes a team that commits a T on offense more than a team that commits one on defense. I fail to see the logic in thinking a team has a greater responsiblity to behave properly when they have the ball then when they don't. I have long thought the reason for adding possession to the penalty is that the NF does not have confidence in HS refs to know the POI situation with making almost no errors. It's the same logic they used years ago when they eliminated almost all the jumps and installed the AP arrow. Hey NF - we're not dummies and we know how to toss a ball straight up in the air.

Mark:

I am not a fan of the POI of interuption technical foul. I don't like in the NCAA rule book because there are some exceptions to the rules. I see no really good reason for POI technical foul. Just penalize the fouls in the order that they occur. Remember the most important rule of any endeavor: K.I.S.S.
