Brace yourselves, I know this is rare....

... I agree with Camron. All rules and mechanics the same for NFHS, NCAA, men, women, boys and girls. Including 3-whistle for all HS-JV and above.

Barring that, I think we should go back to jumping every single held ball, and then make girls Fr and below running clock to avoid the 3 hour games.

If we go back to jumping all the time, games will be much, much longer.

My thoughts
- Fix the team control definition so it is a team control foul on an inbounds throw in
- Teams cant call time out after a made basket
- Stop clock after made basket in last minute
- Advance the ball after a time out to mid court in the last two minutes.
- Have shot clock and rop all the five second counts

So the 9th grade girls B team's games should have the same rules as a D-I men's college game?

NCAA-M (maybe women) should get rid of alternating possession throw ins. Playing 2 halves requires only 2 jump balls opposed to 4 with quarters and with the number of held balls at that level wasting time setting up for a jump ball would not me a major issue.

Aside from the shot clock, the rules aren't all that different. A much bigger difference than the rules is the size and strength of the older players and thus how advantage/disadvantage is applied. So yeah, same rules for freshman girls and D-1 men.

Totally agree. Doubling the number of players per team would make everything a lot better

I would change the definition of the nearest spot by adding language that made it nearest relative to that team's basket. Then when the ball is advanced in the backcourt, but still within the top of the opponent's key, we would take it out on the side and not go back to the baseline. Seems like we may be putting a team at a disadvantage by going backwards.

Mark T. DeNucci, Sr.: Thanks for the warning. Now if I could just figure out how to get this ignore feature to work?
