Rule change?

Yup, and as coach pointed out, they only get it for 10 seconds.

In the first half I see no need to have the double bonus after the 10th foul.

Therefore, all common fouls beginning on the 7th team foul should be one and one.

I'd also like to see the clock stopped in the last minute of the 4th quarter after a made basket. However, I think this rule would create more problems than it is worth with a lot of timers not doing it properly/consistantly.

Timeouts called by coaches...

Make it the players on the floor so that we are not put in positions where we may have to divert our attention away from the play.

What about having the NBA rule where inbounding into BC after achieving FC status is allowed only in the last 2 minutes of the 4th quarter/overtimes.

My rule change suggestion would be to adopt the NBA's last two minute rule for each half where if a team had 5 or fewer team fouls in a half, they would be over the limit on the second foul inside 2 minutes. I know this wasn't too popular last time I suggested it, but I still think it would be a good idea. Of course, it would just give something new to confuse other scorers who have no exposure to pro games.
