Here are the rules changes proposals.

1. Beginning with a team’s fifth foul in each quarter, shoot one-and-one; and for the seventh foul, award a bonus free throw only if the first free throw is successful. -- No. This is dumb, no other rule set does this.

2. Beginning with the eighth foul of each quarter, awarding two free-throw bonus. -- Also dumb, not other rule set does this

3. Starting a quarter – with the exception of overtime period – with team fouls at zero. -- Sure, assuming we shoot two shots on either 5th or 6th foul of quarter.

4. Assessing an administrative technical foul to the offending team for violation of the uniform, apparel, equipment and logo/trademark reference rules. -- No, currently rules are fine. Don't need to piss off coaches more.

5. Switching colored uniforms to the home team and white for the visitor. -- No. Why would this be a good idea?

6. Extending the correctable error rule to two dead balls after the error. -- Sure why not

7. Allowing officials to stop the clock and give an official warning, which is recorded in the scorebook, for unsportsmanlike behavior by the coach or team bench, when the offense falls below the threshold for a technical foul. After the official warning, any further issues result in a technical foul. -- Sure, gives officials another tool to manage coaches.

8. Allowing players to wear a bandanna style (tied) headband provided it meets color and width requirements. -- Sure, they allow it in the college game and there is no real safety issue.

9. Extending the optional coaching box to the end line (28 feet). -- Yes, but stress the importance of staying in the box to the coaches and allow officials to call a 1-shot POI technical for coaching box violations.

10. Beginning each quarter with team fouls at zero and start shooting bonus one-and-one at five fouls and bonus two shots at seven fouls in each quarter. -- No. Not sure how this is different from the ones above.

11. Reducing the number of time-outs from three 60-second and two 30-second time-outs to two 60-second and two 30-second time-outs per game. (Add one 30-second to overtime) -- No. Timeouts are fine as they are.

12. Initiating 30-second shot clock for boys and 35-second shot clock for girls. -- Yes to shot clock but it should be the same for boys and girls. 30 seconds.

13. Changing game from four quarters to two 20-minute halves (keep the bonus at seven team fouls, one-and-one, and 10 team fouls for two shots). --Hell no.

14. Charging an indirect technical to the head coach for any illegal uniforms or illegal apparel: headbands, wristbands, arm or leg compression sleeves. -- No. Current rules are fine and we don't need to piss off coaches more

15. Eliminating the bonus and shooting two free throws after the fifth foul in each quarter – with the foul count restarting in each quarter. -- Heck yes. Or we could make it after the 6th foul

16. Reducing time-outs by one. -- Not necessary

17. Beginning with the seventh team foul in each quarter, award a two-shot free-throw penalty, and erase team fouls beginning in each quarter. -- No

18. Eliminating closely guarded count during a live dribble in the frontcourt or backcourt. -- Yes, but only if we have a shot clock.

19. Eliminating time-outs granted to coaches during a live ball. -- Not really necessary or a good idea IMO
