Here's an idea for a rule change. Once the ball has progressed into the front court and there is a subsequent throw-in for the offensive team, that team cannot inbound into the backcourt. What do you guys think?

I think I understand your thinking on that one, but I think it would entail too many tweaks to the rules. Would OOB now be considered part of the front court? Or would we need to add exceptions to the back court rule? What if, while team A has the ball in their frontcourt, the ball is deflected by the defense and goes OOB along a backcourt sideline - would the throw-in only be allowed back into the front court?

Besides, I'm too old - I dislike change.

Now, getting back to that troop funding bill...
