Annual NF rule change thread

[Mark Padgett]

Now that the season is, in effect, over - it's time for suggested rule changes. I'll start:

All teams should be required to have at least three hot moms in the stands, and they must sit in an aisle seat no higher than 5 rows up.

Plus...these hot mom's kids can never foul out.

"While the ball is live, time out may be requested only by one of the players on the court."
It would be better if that time out request be granted only if made in writing, with signatures of all five players, the coach, and the manager, but I don't want to make it unrealistic.

After a player commits a foul, they should raise their hand or it's a technical foul.

Good Lord, No! Don't even say that in fun. We had that rule back in the 70's and it was a complete pain in the azz.

You're assuming the coach knows how to write.

After I called a foul earlier in the yr, the B15U player raised his hand and said, "I got him." I got all teary-eyed....

Anyone claiming to be an official in the stands who is berating officials working the game shall be required to sweep the floor at halftime. If it is discovered after halftime, then that person shall be required to assist the custodian post game.

WE would have our minds on the games!! The one on the court AND the one in the stands!!!!! We can multitask!
As for raising your hand after a fould I used to do that all the time when I played during the Reagan years. I even used it in college if I was near our star player and knew he was in fould trouble up went the hand!!! It worked most of the time!

OT - Funny story from yesterday's 9th/10th Grade All-Star Game. This is one of those Rec Leagues that has Pennies for jerseys. As my P and I take the court I noticed White has three number 22's, two 24's and two 42's. Turns out the league only has about eight jerseys/pennies per team and they get to where them for the All-Star Game, and of the ten players on one team, seven have duplicate numbers.

League Director kept the books and knew all the kids so when we said W22 and kind of "bird-dogged" the perp, he knew who it was......
