Confused In Connecticut ...
When the bonus goes into effect, would everything (common foul) be two shots? No more one and one?
For players fouled in the act of shooting, with the ball going in, or not going in, will everything be the same as it is now? Please help me to understand. ART. 1 Bonus free throws are those awarded for a common foul (except a player-control or team-control foul) as follows: a. The bonus is two free throws that are awarded for each personal foul, and each subsequent foul, beginning with the sixth foul in each quarter. b. The team foul total should be zeroed out at the end of each quarter, with the exception of any overtime period. The overtime period is considered an extension of the fourth quarter. Rationale: This rule change proposal is designed to allow for a better flow of the game, and spend less time at the free throw line. During free throw administration the potential for numerous negative acts to occur, with up to seven players is a confined area. This proposal also provides for only one number of free throws awarded regardless if the foul was committed during a try or after reaching the bonus foul count (two free throws for all). This change has been implemented in the NCAA women's game for the past two years, and even with their bonus going into effect on the 5th foul, only 22% of the time do teams reach the bonus. This will reduce the amount of time it takes to complete a game, especially critical on a school night that proceeds a school day. |
Right. No more 1+1, the bonus is always two shots unless it's in the act of shooting, where it's one or three in the same cases it's one or three right now.

I love the last one. If the NFHS really wants us to be the fashion police then put some teeth in the penalty. I love the change to black or white only as well to make sure all coaches understand it

Having worked two camps over the past few weekends, I think I would be OK with changes to rules like resetting the fouls for each quarter, especially if the fouls are 7 per quarter. I would also be OK with the shot clock change as well, which I had been against. It will be a problem and a problem every game like I have experienced in this last camp. The shot clock will have to be constantly reset or will move when it is not supposed to, but I just say at this point, "Why not?" Everyone wants this so let them have it so they can complain about the controversies it causes and stoppages.
