Just a thought, but regarding the 6' "closely"-guarded count:
Instead of changing the rules to conform to officials who do not follow them, how about changing the officials to conform to the rules?
We all have opinions about what rules are good, and what needs to be changed. But there is no way I would bring those personal opinions with me out on the floor - the current rules, as written, should be enforced at all times. For those officials that think their way of enforcing the rules is better than what's written should be publicly flogged.
That's what I would do if I was king. (Oh, that and include a cheerleading crew just for the officials.)
