Agreed. I don't see any point in stopping the game when the defense already has the ball back.

Shooting the penalty on the 5th of each quarter is great: games I work hit the penalty less often.

I wouldn't mind NFHS looking into this. Of course, the NCAA would have to switch to 4 tens to make this happen, and with all of those media time-outs anyway, that wouldn't be such a stretch.

Advancing the ball to the FC 28' line after a Team A timeout makes for some great dramatic endings.
Having the coaches deal with the table for TOs is great - there's no "timeout! timeout! timeout!" as a player with control just touches out of bounds.
The ignoring of the FT violations is awesome. Less whistles - get the game going again.

I'm dead set against all three of these:
*Why should the offense get the ball at a spot on the floor they haven't earned?
*The live-ball time-out is a big part of the American game. I'd be stunned to see rules committees make changes here.
*If you allow offensive players to violate on free throws, you're going to see a lot more violations when the shot is missed. The point of the enforcement is to discourage violations.

The clear path rule - that's great too. You actually have to make an effort to play good defense.

I missed something here. What's this rule?
