I agree. However, there is constant talk about changing the NF technical foul rule to reflect the NCAA rule,(NBA as well, but only 1 shot instead of two) where play is resumed at POI, because "the penalty is too severe if we award two FT's plus posession." Even the NCAA resumes play with a Center jump ball after a pre-game dunk! Change the NF rule!
You think the penalty is too severe? The rule was changed from 1 shot to 2 shots pus possession because the NFHS was concerned about unsporting behaviour,and they thought that an increased penalty would help stop it.Well,unsporting behaviour has been a POE for the last I-don't-know-how-many-years,including this past year-so the FED is obviously still concerned about it. It doesn't make much sense to lessen the penalty,if the FED is getting feedback that unsporting behaviour is still a general problem.The NCAA game and the FED game are two different worlds completely,anyway.
