It is my opinion that it is a rule whose time has passed. The motion offense that teams now use requires players to be moving not standing around like dead wood. Plus, I think that too many officials do not when to call it and when not to call it. MTD, Sr. |
Don't you think that if the 3-seconds rule was not in place that motion offenses would change?

As for knowing when & when not to call it, that's a coaching problem, not a rules problem. |

HEY....that hurts |
Here in Iowa, the girls use a coin toss to start the game. The year they made the switch, I was taking a break from officiating, so I never heard the rationale behind it. It strikes me as silly, especially at the high school level.

No one in my chapter is really fond of the "shirts have to be tucked in" rule. It takes so much time to tell every player on every dead ball to tuck their shirts in. It gets old.

Well our chapter has come to the point where we don't even give them warnings. If it's not tucked in, and the pants pulled up to the waist, then they don't come in--no questions asked.
Every coach has agreed with this and, surprisingly, not b*tched about it. |

But, just be sure you didn't accidentally exchange your regular coin with your party trick double sided coin. |
That's true. But all you have to do is remember what the initial call was and which side is heads. And ya don't want to end up like NFL and have to paint the heads side red. :p

WHOA. Punching the ball

Along the same lines, while kicking at the ball is not forbidden, any other kicking is, including feigning kicking at the ball. If, in the official's judgment a kick is being used as a threat, it's a T. |

[/B][/QUOTE]The rules cover these acts very explicitly now. It's simply up to each official to use the existing rules. Rule 4-18-1- <i>" Fighting is a flagrant act and can occur when the ball is dead or live.Fighting includes, but is not limited to, such combative acts as an <b>attempt</b> to strike, <b>punch</b> or <b>kick</b> an opponent with a fist,hands,arms,legs or feet <b>regardless</b> of whether contact is made"</i>. What more do you need than that, Jeff? Covers all the situations that you talked about, if you want to use it. Handle with care, though. |
What Chapter are you in KTJ?
I personally do not allow subs on my court if there shorts arent up and thier shirts arent in. Before the game I tell EVERYONE in or around the circle shirts in pants up. Try to keep it that way ladies (or gentlemen). You play better. And its not usually a problem. However when I tell a kid to tuck his shirt in and get his pants up and he rolls his eyes at me I'll tell him again. If he doesnt do it then he's gunna sub out. Im not the "shirt and short king" but ya know.. If i have to tuck my shirt in, so should they LOL. |
