Trickle Down ...

I pulled these (below) quotes out of the article, all of which could be relevant to high school basketball, all which have been discussed, at one time, or another, here on the Forum:

rules committee made adjustments to clamp down on physical defense

told the referees last year there are four things you can’t do to a dribbler, and they called the fouls they were supposed to call

the men who call all those time outs are the same ones who write the rules

Coaches were also the only group that objected to the suggestion that only players should be allowed to call time out

They devised prohibitions against hand-checking and other tactics that had tipped the advantage too far to the defense
