King for a day

[SmokeEater]

It's interesting to read all of the posts and desired changes in this thread. Most I think mirror in concept what FIBA rules enforces.

So if I had to be King for a day I would liek to have all levels of basketball in every part of the world play with the same rules set, (i really don't care which one), just get some uniformity and don't make any modifications to them.

I think all games should be 8 minute quarters running clock, teams should have no timeouts, games can end in a tie after regulation, possession after a jump ball should be determined by the two players involved arm wrestling, dunking allowed only in girls games and no intentional or flagrant foul calls - let 'em get as violent as they want.

Most important - coaches must remain seated - IN THE PARKING LOT!

If I could change one FIBA rule it would be getting away from their dumb numbers system. Considering they are much more relaxed on a number of uniform issues, it seems laughable that they only permit 4-15

I've only seen one that mirrored FIBA, Rich's "get rid of live ball timeouts." Nothing else has gone that way.

When I posted that reply I saw the posts about correctable errors and also entering the lane on Free throws which are the way FIBA is now. Or at least some resemblence to this.

Ah, I'd forgotten about the FT thing, and didn't know FIBA had that rule on CE.
