Most officials couldn't tell you, without looking, the intricacies of the TF rules either. FCOL, a good chunk of officials would stumble on two or three of the free throw rules.

Hey. I work with a few officials that stumble over a boundary line when they don't look where they're going.

That's funny, I don't remember ever being in Connecticut.

That's part of the problem.

Unify the NFHS, NCAA-M, and NCAA-W rules and mechanics. There is no good reason for them to be different except for length of quarters.

Stop the clock under a minute in the 4th quarter after a made basket
-seems counter intuitive but it would result in better flow of close games
-less TO's called during the end of the game just to stop the clock, take into consideration a TO is going to cost at least a good minute-thirty/minute-fourtyfive from whistle to whistle
-in another wise benign game with no TO's called, it would add maybe 20 secs total if that
-would be ignored completely during mercy clock situations

Coaches can only call a TO while the ball is dead and clock stopped
- obvious

16 minute halves
- better flow, potential for more scoring as two less opt for teams to hold the ball for "last shot"
- not to mention two less chances for us to screw up a horn/shot or shot/horn sequence
- the 8 minute and 24 minute mark now become just like any other

I don't want to push my luck with asking for a shot clock
-but again better flow - less fouling during close games
