New Rules POLL

Well, I think some of the rule changes would be fine. They should be:

2 - 36 min halves with a 30 second shot clock for boys
2 - 32 min halves with a 35 second shot cock for girls

Grey pin stripped shirts for officials so that they are not so obvious on the court. Officials should be heard, (whistle) instead of seen.

12 foot coaching box...keep them contained.

Naw, I can't agree with that either. The idea of implementing the distinctive striped-shirts many, many moons ago was so that players would have no difficulty determining between the players and the officials out on the floor. And the saying "officials should be not be noticed" refers to our actions on trhe court, not our visibility.

Welcome to the forum.

agreed...there is no issue there with me on that...i'm satisfied, but it might give a different touch. What is the current status on the grey shirts? Is this rumor or is it a possiblity? I hear alot of talk. Thanks, i'm glad to be a member...I didn't even know there was such a site.

36 minute halves?!?!?! Those are going to be some LOOOOOOOOONG games. I hope they raise your pay.

And I happen to think that OMT guy knows what he's talking about.

yah, your probably right...then maybe there shouldn't be any rule changes at all, except for the coaching box

Zebra, I think you may have missed my point, since it was hidden in such a pathetic attempt at humor. You talked about 36 minute HALVES; but right now there are only 32 minutes in a GAME. That's why I said 36 minute halves would make for a long game. . . oh never mind. It's still not funny.

On the plus side, I'm pretty stoked that we've got almost 90 people to vote in the poll!
