Experimental Rules, Exempt Tournaments

[rockyroad]

Take a look at the NBA game the last few years, and realize that their style of play is beginning to filter down to the NCAA level and Nichols et al want to stop that trend right now...the same is true on the women's side - huge emphasis on handchecking and post play this year...as far as the international key and others, I don't know why they would be using that unless they want to see what impact it has on the game...if positive, maybe they will consider moving to those rules...
