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.

That sounds like an improvement in terms of reducing errors, both correctable errors, and communication mistakes before the lead bounces the ball to the free throw shooter.

I believe that I'll change my recommendation to a thumbs up. This change will lead to fewer errors rather than more errors, as I originally believed. I'll send a quick text to Theresia before her committee makes any final decisions. Now, if I could only convince her not to go with a multicolored ball, that would make my day.



(Yeah, I know this image doesn't represent the proposed rule, but in my mind, it does.)
