2004 Proposed Rule Revisions

[CoachW]

The only rules revisions I don't like are the two about dropping the closely guarded rule. I think one of the main problems with the NBA is that there is no closely guarded rule, so teams can just run isolations. I would rather see the aggressive defense and motion offense that can result from having the 5-second count. But, the people who make these things up are a lot smarter with a lot more experience than me.

Also, how likely are any of these to happen? I am not familiar with how the NFHS makes their revisions, usually the first I hear about them is when I get a new rulebook every year.
