Sorry, we must have posted at the same time. Feel free to delete mine.

Wow. How many different ways could they word the free throw count/quarter thing??

[Adam]

I think we can expect movement on the rolled-waistband front.

[Rich]

As we've gone to 18-minute halves here, all of the questions on quarter-based bonus systems have come a bit late for us.

No way in hell should the game move to 20-minute halves. Personally, I don't get why we're playing 18 here instead of 16. For every game where you get 4 extra minutes of great hoops, you get 10 others that should end 4 minutes earlier.

(Personally, I'd love to go to NCAAW - 5 fouls per quarter, shoot 2. Eliminate the 1-and-1.)

Let them roll the waistband. Shorts are too long.

I found it interesting when they asked if there were many blowouts (30+ point differences). Is some type of mercy rule in the works?

We have a 40 minute running clock with 9 minutes left in the second half (essentially a "4th quarter" if we played quarters).

Funny, we just talked about this the other night. 40 is too high a threshold, IMO. It should be 30 and it should be the entire second half. Nobody's coming back from 30 down.

My schedule this year was full of blowouts, so I may be biased for now, but I'd like to see some sort of mercy rule implemented. More often than not players who are on the losing end of these games "give up". In fact, I found out that one of the teams around here that are not good had 6 players quit the team before the end of the season.

Oh, and I'd like to see some sort of punishment for not complying with the fashion rules. Nothing too harsh, like an indirect T to the coach (mentioned in the questionnaire), but just something so we don't have to worry so much about it.

There are already penatlies for uniform infractions...

You mean the "you can't play with that on" thing? I'm referring to things like undershirt and accessory colors. Not what's listed in 3-4, which can lead to a tech on the head coach.

Penalties for Illegal Uniforms. Not for "improper accessories" (or whatever it's called)

[SNIPERBBB]

Not being allowed to play until corrected I would consider as a penalty

Not one strong enough so that I haven't had to tell a number of players and coaches about illegal undershirts, leg sleeves, headbands, etc. I guess I wasn't clear enough about what penalties I was referring to.

You know what they say about assuming.
