It should request a timeout. Only officials can call a timeout.

I want to save Mark the time.

Thanks. I appreciate the help. Us Chicago guys have to stick together, besides - the meds have me really sleepy right now.

Here's an idea for a rule change. Once the ball has progressed into the front court and there is a subsequent throw-in for the offensive team, that team cannot inbound into the backcourt. What do you guys think?

I think that would add to violations and likely more conflict about the rule. Also HS players are not always as coordinated and you would have some violations that might just take place because of poor execution. I do not see a purpose for such a rule.

I think I understand your thinking on that one, but I think it would entail too many tweaks to the rules. Would OOB now be considered part of the front court? Or would we need to add exceptions to the back court rule? What if, while team A has the ball in their frontcourt, the ball is deflected by the defense and goes OOB along a backcourt sideline - would the throw-in only be allowed back into the front court?

Besides, I'm too old - I dislike change.

Now, getting back to that troop funding bill...

My biggest question is why bother? Nothing is broken with it the way it is.

So far the two suggestions in this thread reflect FIBA rules. Interesting.....

Are you saying the troop funding bill isn't broken?

Here's my suggestion. Make everything but a pony tail holder, a uniform, shoes, socks and any protective devices (knee braces, etc) illegal. Quit even dinking around with all the sweatbands and headbands. I'm tired of being the fashion police.

Um, what color pony tail holder?

I know some coaches deserve this label, but not all.

I would prefer only the players be allowed to request a TO during a live ball, but I believe that was voted down by the committee this year. Hopefully they will bring it up again next year.

Now, about that Iraq war...

Only officials may grant a timeout.

If we're gonna get it right, let's get it right.
