[icallfouls]

[QUOTE=Nevadaref]
1. 28 ft coaching box - Fine
2. permitting gray shirt for officials - No big deal one way or the other
3. 15 minute mark for submitting player roster and starters - Why?
4. Home team wears even numbers, visitors odd - Just adds more expenses to the schools, and they just bought new uni's to be sure the home jerseys are white/light in color
5. require headbands/sweatbands to be same color as jersey Fine
6. eliminate closely guarded while dribbling - NO
7. include a foul committed during a throw-in by the throwing team as a team control foul - This should have been done last year
8. stopping the game clock on made goals in the final minute of the 4thQ and extra periods - lack of qualified (non-partisan) timers
9. play in halves instead of quarters - Yes
10. entend the game length to 36 minutes - Yes
11. Only permitting players on the court to request a TO, head coach during a dead ball only - I love it when a coach calls TO as his player shoots, "Tweet, time out white, no basket"
12. eliminate lag time if officials have definite knowledge of the time - Yes
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 thrower - Who cares?
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."
(Mike 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.) - See def. of guarding
15. allow a shot clock by state adoption - Doesn't matter to me
16. courtside replay for state championship games - Maybe expand this to all state tournament games
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. - Yes
18. allow pregame dunking, but not hanging on the ring - If you can dunk, DUNK!
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) - Fine by me
20. Make signal #33 (current player control signal) also used for reporting a team control foul. - Just use the NCAAW 'punch' signal, this is pretty well used, accepted, and understood already
