2009-2010 rule changes

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.

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

Don't you mean a missed period?

1. I've been thinking the same thing most of this thread. Doesn't the NBA do something similar? This could also help in speeding the game up, so we're not shooting 1 and 1 at the start of the second and fourth quarters. I'm in full support of this one.

2. Only let coaches call TO during dead balls. I hate the misunderstandings that happen when they're allowed to call TO during live balls, and I don't like being distracted by it either.

Scraps, I'll get in your corner here!

One of our local Rec Leagues had a B13/15 Division that didn't have enough coaches/players to make up another team(s) - so they went with nine or ten players per team and increased the length of the quaters to NINE minutes so everyone would get sufficient playing time. You talk about some hack fests, Double Bonus early and often, and lengthy games....... And NO we didn't get paid extra!
