Rule change time

[Mark Padgett]

We haven't done this for quite a while, so I thought I'd bring it up again. If you could change just one rule in either NF or NCAA, what would it be and why? I'll throw this one out to start. Eliminate 5 second closely guarded counts in any games that have a shot clock. It's redundant.

Eliminate three seconds. That way the parents will be quiet.

Actually, eliminate the fashion police rules. Not my yob man.

Allow non shooters on the lane to enter on release. Now that we have moved them back a spot, it is almost impossible to block out the shooter.

Really? I'm not questioning the possibility of the shooter getting the rebound, but I've not seen this once, since the rule change, where the shooter has "shot the hole" and made it to the basket before the inside players. Has you seen the shooter make it to the basket untouched?

Jump Stop,
It confuses the Traveling violation call and too many officials either do not understand it or just do not call it correctly.

Same one I always say:
No more timeout requests from the coach.

Oh, and my quixotic arrow issue: flip the arrow as soon as it's at the disposal of the thrower.

[IREFU2]

Get rid of the 5 second closely guarded count, except on a held ball within 3 feet.

delay in return to the court after a throw-in penalized by a violation call instead of a technical

I would like to see FT lane restrictions end on the release of FT try.

Keep coach power to call time out.

At least it's a step in the right direction. I suggest no overtimes at all. If the game ends in a tie, the winner is decided by the captains doing rock, paper, scissors.

My suggestion: male coaching girls basketball should wear a dress.

What year did this rule go out? Didn't this take place if the first OT ended in a tie? or was it after more OT,s. I remember watching some games with sudden death OT but can't recall all the details. Any help? This was in Indiana HS basketball.

My rec league that I ran back in college had a sudden death rule, but as far as I can remember, OT has been part of the game since I could rememeber
