That's why officials warm-up before a game also.

Wait, the officials are supposed to warm up? ... oh, you mean the floor officials! Well, that makes more sense...

1) get rid of ap and start using jump balls again.

2) get rid of point of interupption.

3) stop being the fashion police except of keeping a players shorts up.

I know just one rule but i thought i could be the basketball czar for a day.

But, seriously, i would like to see the closely guarded rule changed to three feet instead of six feet and only while holding the ball. This is the rule in fiba and ncaa women's.

I would say no timeouts even if the ball is dead if the clock is running.

1) Drop 30s and fulls and go with five 45s

2) Go to two 16-min halves

I like both of those but I think two 18 minutes halves such as what Minnesota does might be better.

Change the rule on remaining OOB after the throwin is released to be a violation instead of a T...and just give it a time limit of 3 seconds after the release that they have to be inbounds. It doesn't matter if they run across the court in that time, just as long as they get in.

Compression sleeves. Make 'em legal and have them fall under the headband color requirements or make 'em illegal, because we all know they are not used for medical reasons.

Not grant a HC's time out request unless the ball is dead and the clock is stopped. I'd settle for unless the ball is dead, but would prefer both dead ball and stopped clock.

Are they going to raise our game fees 12.5%?

I ref FIBA so its a different kettle of fish. The rules I would like to see go on our side are the rules we have for some things that are automatically unsportsmanlike. I would prefer the discretion to call it when the intent was to make a non basketball play or an excessively physical one.

These would include:

- Automatic unsportsmanlike on any foul will the ball is at the disposal of the inbounder but has not yet entered the playing area during the last 2 minutes.
-Automatic unsportsmanlike on any foul from the side or behind when the there are no other defenders back between the rim and ball (clear path).

I like this one Camron.

What? He says no coach timeouts while the ball is live. I say it should also include when the ball is dead if the clock is running. What do you not understand?

Get rid of that stupid BC interp. I'd be satisfied with that.

Other than on a made basket for the purposes of the correctable errors, when is that? You will never get coaches to agree with that one because they need those TOs to extend the game.

Me, too. Perhaps a change in the team control aspect.
