Five Fouls Not Enough?

[chartrusepengui]

Heck - if 5 isn't enough fouls for those "good" players - maybe we should really feel sorry for them, their coaches, and teams and should up the amount of fouls prior to disqualification. What the he!! - lets do it right and go straight to UNLIMITED fouls. Gosh - that might be the way to solve the problem. Then we could keep the "good" players in all the time and wouldn't have to have strategy at all.

Lets carry it over to society - NO JAIL TIME FOR ANY OFFENSE - LETS KEEP THE BEST MURDERERS, RAPISTS, BURGLARS ETC OUT THERE, even if they CAN'T play by the rules.

Hey - there's another solution to your problem. NO RULES!!!!! Without rules, there wouldn't be any fouls -no one could foul out AND it would be easier for us as officials.

And there wouldn't be any rules for us to argue about on here!

But you're right - when people complain "You're not supposed to call it that way" - that's what the rules say, that's what I'm calling, and you're gonna like it or live with it. The biggest problem with this game isn't the 5 foul limit - it's the fact that so many people call it so many different ways at so many different times - This means that from game to game, so many rules and interpretations change, it isn't the same game twice. Why have rules, if you're not going to follow them, enforce them evenly and fairly and consistently, and play by them all the time?

Stepping off my soap-box now.
