One of the worst ones was the old rule that,if a player committed a foul,it was mandatory that he/she had to raise their hand to identify themselves to the scorer.If they didn't within 5 seconds,you were supposed to nail them with an automatic T.Not only that,they had to raise their hand straight up in the air.If the arm was bent,or they waved their hand,we were still supposed to issue a T for not raising their hand "properly".It was just an absolutely idiotic rule.You would call a tough foul in a close game,and then have to worry about whether an arm is late going up or not straight enough.There were a lot of warnings issued,but not many T's were called.This one only lasted a coupla years before they got rid of it.
