Anybody like this? I know it goes against the concept of "OT is just an extension of the fourth quarter". Somebody mentioned it to me and I thought I'd throw it out there. I kind of like it.

Also, I'm kind of surprised that there's no outcry for going to the POI for technical fouls. That's been a pretty common suggestion in years past, I think.

Don't like dropping the team fouls for overtimes. You're trying to make the game like the pro's. It's not needed at this level. Plus, so many people; table personnel, officials know this procedure. You're talking retraining and for what? It will not make the game any better.

Believe it or not. I like the idea that a team should lose the ball on a technical. It seems the message to not get any technical fouls or screw around with the ref's. High school ball should not be played like pro ball. I like the seat belt rule. You go and change that, it won't be long before we lose the seat belt,imo.
