Uggggg.. I see I'm posting this too late to get included in the letter...

However, one rule I think should be changed is the double bonus on 10 team fouls in the FIRST half. The purpose for this rule when it was put in place was to discourage a team who is trailing to stop fouling to stop the clock.

#1 - This rule HAS NOT worked as desired. Coaches still have their players foul irregardless of how many team fouls have been committed.

#2 - (and actually more in-line with the reason stated in original rule change proposal) .. Has ANYONE ever seen a team start fouling in the first half to stop the clock and put the other team on the free throw line hoping to get the ball back? I know I haven't.
