Mark,

I saw that the NFHS has added a new signal to our chart for the new "excessive swinging of the elbows violation" this year. Do you or does anybody know what the new mechanic is for this call?

Yes. You put your left elbow into your left ear.

I'm glad I've got a few months to get used to this one!!

count being unnecessary (with a shot clock).
But, whether we use it (or the 5 sec closely guarded)
or not,it should be the SAME for boys and girls
basketball. No need to change the game for the
girls, IMO.


Even if a clock is implemented, I think both counts should remain. The 5 second count is to encourage team play rather than relying on a single player.

The 10 second count is needed to give the defense a chance to steal the ball before 30 seconds are up. The entire court is a large area for the offense to use to play keep away.
