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.

I like the idea of keeping the 10 second count after a time out, but this would be difficult to keep track of, especially in states where a shot clock is not used. I guess my way of thinking is if a coach wants to waste a TO on one possession because of a potential backcourt violation, let them waste it.

And the rule change I would like to see is going to POI after a tecnical foul - not going to half-court. No real reason why - I just like it better... |
I have another idea, how about limiting the number of coaches on the bench. I work one school that has about as many assistants as they have players. The adults get to complaining about things to each other, and the next thing you know, we're whacking either them or the HC. I can see having a HC and AC, but beyond that, why not have trainers and that's it for adults on the bench?

The team that wins the toss must hold the ball outside the three-point arc until 30-seconds or less are left in the period. The team that loses the toss must play zone defense inside the three-point arc for the entire period.

Personally, if I was a coach, I'd tell the players not to do this unless I tell them before-hand that it's okay. Or, at the very least, there would be a lot of times I'd tell them not to do it because the time-outs were more valuable.

It sure would give me the opportunity to catch up on my reading during games. ;) |
