We don't need no stinkin'....part 3 (and last try)
OK, guys. So far we've used up two threads that were supposed to be about NF rule changes we'd like to see and we have a grand total of two suggestions - changing the terminology for intentional fouls and going to halves instead of quarters. Oh yeah - someone mentioned the changing the double bonus penalty, too. However, most of thread number two was taken up by a discussion of school funding. What's next - turning a discussion about dunking at half-time into one about the Iraq war? :(
Rule change ideas, please. Thank you. |
Time Outs
Suggestion: Coaches cannot call time outs during a live ball or while the clock is running. One of my toughest calls is watching a dribbler cross the division line, get trapped against the back court line and the sideline, look for fouls, travel, out of bounds, etc., hear "Time out" from the bench area, and check to see if it's the head coach of the team that is allowed to call timeout in that situation. It's giving me a headache just typing up the situation.

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 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... |

Besides, I'm too old - I dislike change. :D Now, getting back to that troop funding bill... |

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

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.

OK, guys - how about this one? If a team has possession in its backcourt and there is a subsequent throwin by that team, also in its backcourt, they get only the unused time left from their original 10 seconds to advance to frontcourt, not a restart on the 10 second clock. This would seem to reward the defense properly for not easily letting the team advance the ball on their original possession.
