This might work as well as "recommending" the home book and the visiting book to sit together. I stopped trying to be anal about that a long time ago.

I understand the reasoning behind this proposed change. However, my question would be what if there was an unusually large roster and there were more names than spaces available? The team for which I keep the book (at the Division III level) had 16 players on its roster this season (with 15 spaces for each team per game in the book). One visiting team this year had 19 players on the squad. Maybe it's different in high school and there is a cap on the number of players. In my experience at the college level, however, strictly enforcing this would be a problem. If there wasn't some flexibility, it would be difficult to keep track of fouls and points if, for example, #50 and #55 were squeezed into the same space if each played a significant number of minutes. Invariably (at least in most games) if there is a large number of players, there are several players that won't play. I would fit the numbers and names of those players into the same space and would forget about putting the roster in numerical order.

Am I missing something? My book has nothing about eyeglasses in this part.

I think that's what would make it a rule change.

What kind of chance is there to have FED adopt that the opponents of the free thrower can stand ON the 12" block (closest to the baseline) during a FT? (Same as NCAA)

And end all restrictions on the release?
