Rule change time again

What is the point in this proposal? Is it aimed at introducing some kind of "loose ball foul" into the HS game? Is it aimed at eliminating the 10 count when a ball goes into back court? Eliminating 3 seconds durring an interrupted dribble or when the ball is knocked away? What exactly is the submitter hoping to accomplish?

Edited to add: I just noticed this was submitted by the same person as the proposal to combine team and player control fouls into a single "offensive foul" rule. I guess you'd have to make the change above in order to actually combine these since you can't have a player control foul during an interrupted dribble (or indeed any time when no player is in control of the ball, excepting an airborne shooter).

Which is not to say that I agree with it. It should still be a team control foul even without player control. So I guess I disagree with both proposals.
