If my role as Galactic Emperor extended to making the NF rules for basketball, here's what I would do:

1) No jump to start game - home gets ball to start 1st and 4th, visitors to start 2nd and 3rd. Jump for OT.

2) No one-and-one - on seventh team foul of half, two shots, on tenth team foul, three to make two.

3) No automatic possession on a T. Use POI.

4) Only players on the floor can request a TO. No particular reason except it would piss off the coaches, which is cool.

5) Allow players on the FT lane to go in on the release. The game should be for manly men (and women).

6) No five second closely guarded if player is dribbling. Have the rule only on holding the ball.

7) Eliminate five second closedly guarded and ten second backcourt violation in all games with a shot clock. Eliminate redundancy.

8) End the nonsense of allowing more than one player OOB after a made or awarded score. I've yet to hear a logical reason to allow it.

9) Allow players to play with nipple rings, if they're taped.

Why? It works fine as it is.

Why? 1+1 then 2 is a good step..you get some for free and then the price goes up.

Agree

Agree

On the rim works better. Too many HS officials couldn't manage it correctly and there were near bloodbaths under the boards that went uncalled if the ball went in.

Why? It's a team game. Rewards good defense.

It would only be redundant if they were the same length as the shot clock. All work together to force action in different ways. The 10 second count reduces the size of the floor that the defense has to cover to force a turnover. The 5 second count makes it a team game.

Team may make the throwin from anywhere OOB along that line. There is no spot designated nor any thrower designated. Why prohibit it?

I see you didn't comment on number 9.
