I am saying that there is not all that much difference between the various rules. The game I see on cable NCAA is not a different game to what we play here.
To save me each time I post
TAKE NOTE
"I think the best skills and greatest spectacle are shown in your games but this has nothing to do with rules."
Rules do not make the game but enforce the spirit and intention of the person who designed it or those who seek to improve it. Dr. Naismith may hate what his game has become but it has been adjusted because of the new and improved skills of players and to keep the game fair for both sides and in the case of NBA to create a product that people will watch. Now I hate long posts.
So what say each Thursday we discuss the differences in the rules.(One rule each week) That will keep you guys busy til your season gets underway again.
I will start
Backcourt Violation: I prefer your rule in relation to the ball in control of player achieving front court status ie ball and both feet must be in front court(Is my interpretation correct) Otherwise I think the rules are seem pretty similar from discussions I have read.
