1. 28 ft coaching box
That would allow them to cover the whole bench area
2. permitting gray shirt for officials
We already use them here in VT, and NH & ME use them as well.
3. 15 minute mark for submitting player roster and starters
Deep six this one, sometimes 10 minutes is tough esp at sub-varsity level.
4. Home team wears even numbers, visitors odd
Opens up for a lot of admin Ts. Must be for the color blind.
5. require headbands/sweatbands to be same color as jerseyWhat about armsleeves?
6. eliminate closely guarded while dribbling
If the defender is playing good defense, why?
7. include a foul committed during a throw-in by the throwing team as a team control foulWouldn't the definition need to change?
8. stopping the game clock on made goals in the final minute of the 4thQ and extra periodsNot sure this is necessary
9. play in halves instead of quarters
Ditto
10. entend the game length to 36 minutes
It already is if you are unfortunate enough to get to OT.
11. Only permitting players on the court to request a TO, head coach during a dead ball onlyYESSSSSS!
12. eliminate lag time if officials have definite knowledge of the timeno opinion
13. change from a held ball to an OOB violation on the thrower when the thrower holds the ball across the boundary plane and a defender grasps it simultaneously with the throwermakes sense
14. "a closely guarded count shall be terminated when the offensive player in control of the ball gets his/her head and shoulders past the defensive player."
(Mick Dick of Iowa Girls HS ath union writes of a situation in which the offensive player is cg for three seconds and then dribbles around the defender who chases the offensive player from behind but within six feet, "By current rule, the closely guarded count would continue." Hmmmm...while this clarification would be nice, it seems that someone needs to read the definition of guarding.)common sense would haev one stop the count--not sure it has to be defined.
15. allow a shot clock by state adoption
16. courtside replay for state championship gamesBy adoption maybe. Our games are not televised.
17. assessing only one delay of game warning for any type of delay of game situation per team instead of one for each of the three types.Would rather they deal with all the hand slapping between throws that technically is not a huddle.
18. allow pregame dunking, but not hanging on the ringWorm can
19. coach is out of box and "just coaching" - first offense = warning, second offense = T; coach is out of box and behaving inappropriately - first offense = T (submitted by Mary Struckhoff)Not necessary imo
20. Make signal #33 (current player control signal) also used for reporting a team control foul.Would be a lot simpler


You can be favor, don't favor, or neutral on these items.

Nice find, Nevada.
