Rule Change Proposals

[Back In The Saddle]

HC may only call time out when the ball is dead and the clock is stopped.

Make the gray shirt officially legal.

Add definitions of "reaching in" and "over the back." Everybody uses those terms, and no amount of whining about them here will ever change that. So give them a sensible definition and then we'll have some ammo to use next time the coach starts hollering about "he's reaching."

Make it a capital offense for anybody on the bench to yell "TRAVEL!" Ever. For any reason.

By state adoption, the "electronic fence" can be employed to keep coaches in their boxes while the clock is running.

Require scorekeepers and clock operators to be state trained and certified. When students are employed to run the clock/book, cell phones must be handed over to the referee, and no other students may sit within 25 feet of the score table.
