Rule change time again

[truerookie]

1. Adopt all collegiate rules and be done with rule changes that progress toward college basketball.

2. Have seperate rules for boys and girls basketball.

3. Do away with yearly rule changes for a five year period. Identify POE's only on a yearly basis.

I would be happy if they did away with rules changes for just ONE year.

Might want to change the name, though. I've been in some small rural towns where they might take this a bit too literally.

"Do we gotta killem' all, or will one of 'em do?"

Other sports sometimes use the phrase "sudden victory".

Start with the assistant coaches, work your way up to the head coach. If they still go OT at some point during the year, then the officials get to decide which player gets it next!

(That'll shut that mouthy point guard up, one way or another)

Why would you want different rules for girls?

We already have different rules in CA.
The rationale is that it prepares them better for the college game as well as speeding up play.
I still think they have the shot clocks wrong though....it should be 30 for boys and 35 for girls.

They do that in Cali just so the players competency will stay on par with the referees.

What rules differ?

IMHO, the rationale is dumb as 95 % of high school players aren't playing at the next level. So NCAAW should adapt WNBA rules to prepare them for the pros?

Why not enjoy the moment and not be worried about ...........the next level.

That's actually a good argument to have one set of rules in college.

The fact that coaches, players, fans, and even many officials can't properly learn one set of rules should be warning enough against implementing two sets!

That's one of many good reasons not to
