Rules changes Posted

Of all the things....

You think they would look at the things that actually make a difference in the game?

I'm impresses that we can use the red light...

Now what the Heck did I miss? Where did this imaginary rectangle come from that is only an editorial change?

I never knew that a person left the lane space when they touched outside the lane space... what the heck does leaving the lane space mean?

You know I have watched and refereed basketball for a long time, although I have no clue what means foot near outer edge means, it is a 36in deep space. is that 4 inches? is it 6 inches? is it 12?... I cant recall how long it has been since I have seen someone stand back from the FT line so far that this would be an issue (and then who cares)

Lets fix the things that need to be really fixed...

Although there are no explanatons for the POE I can just see the one liners

Travelling- Jump stops mean both feet land together and when a player catches the ball with both feet on the ground and the player hops and lands with both feet again it is a travel.

Closely Guarded means 6 feet not three....includes both dribbling and holding the ball, there is no such thing as he has to be out playing aggessive defens to have a count


Three seconds- refs have to learn to count to 3 and we dont care if a person is straddling the FT line, one foot in the lane for more than 3 seconds gains an advantage

Block Charge- the defensive player does not have to be set- Not every blco charge is a block-do not penalize good defense because the offense it out of control

FT administration Lets see we shoot one shot/one and one/ or two... they palyers line up and they cant delay But gee that would be a delay of game thing... Maybe it is because we dont bouce the ball high enough, or what... Maybe there are some areas but is this worth the ink it is written on or what did I miss?
