So you didn't read the opening post?

Usually, when we have a post about NF rule changes, at least one person suggests allowing players along the FT lane to go in on the release. How do you guys feel about that?

I think they should wait till the ball hits the floor.

Player control fouls gone, all become team control fouls.
How can you commit a player control foul when you don't have the ball anymore. (airbourn shooter after release) This needs to change to be more like college.

How do you determine who was on defense off a rebound? Team control ends on the release. Dick Vitale is in need of a new idea. Not that a new idea for him will be a good one.

This. A lot. This would keep our attention where it needs to be: on the floor.

Close, but no cigar. It was "change of status".

Agree.

No more jump balls to start the game, or overtime. Flip a coin, or give the ball to the visitors to start the game, and use the alternating possession arrow for the rest of the game.

Coaches may not request a timeout. Only one of the players on the court.

Well then, you can't select a prize from any shelf.

1. Allow players along the lane to go on release

2. Allow the 28' coaching box and then enforce. The 6' definitely does not work( KS ), the 14' works much better ( MO ).

How about resetting the team fouls at the start of each quarter and shooting the bonus on the 4th team foul of the quarter (automatic bonus on the 6th)? You still get 6 common fouls in each half where you don't shoot the 1-and-1, but this way you ensure that you're never shooting the bonus for an entire quarter. I hate getting to the second quarter and saying, "Ok, 1-and-1 the rest of the way".

I'd also like to see the team foul reset at the beginning of each extra period, as well, but I don't think that would ever fly.

Love it. Had that happen a few times this year. Felt bad for the "wasted" arrow (oh gosh, did I really just say I 'felt bad' for a team )

What's an "extra period"? I know a phrase like that would really frighten my wife.

Don't you mean a missed period?

What happens on a held ball after shot try, there is no defense because there is No team control after the shot is released.
