Maybe these should be the NF rule changes for next year?

[Mark Padgett]

Why didn't I think of this before? In order to eliminate (or greatly reduce) the incorrect rules comments from coaches, let's just change the rules so they now reflect all the wrong interpretations from those coaches. i.e.:

A defender reaching in front of a dribbler without making contact is now a reaching foul.

Any player reaching over the back of another player without making contact is now an over the back foul.

A three seconds in the lane violation will be called regardless of whether or not the team has lost team control, such as on a shot.

A player gaining control of the ball while on the floor and having their momentum of doing so cause them to slide will be called a traveling.

A defender on a throw-in must stay three feet back from the line regardless of how much space the inbounder has behind him.

An over and back violation will be called any time it just "looks like it" except when the defensive team tips the ball in the frontcourt prior to the offensive team tipping the ball in the frontcourt before the ball goes into the backcourt. In that case, no violation.

Officials will now "call it both ways" and there will be an equal number of fouls called on each team every quarter.

Any others you guys would like to add?
