Reasoning?

I would like to move the 20 minute warm up period to 15. Officals need to be on the court by 10 minutes on the clock and line-ups must be in with 7 minutes to play. Kids don't need the 20 minutes. In a decent amount of games this year we had teams walk to their bench the last 3 minutes and just sit and talk want wait for everything to start.

My wish would be a very minor mechanics change, instituting a mechanic for a hit to the head we can use while reporting a foul. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I think it would help with communication. The general, all purpose "hit" mechanic is sometimes just that, too general.

1. They are unnecessary as basketball is an indoor game.
2. Would match the current NCAA rule.

Sleeves above the elbow are necessary?

What's the difference between wearing 2 shooting sleeves under an undershirt with sleeves down too the elbow?

down and dirty:

If Team A is not awarded merited free throws and then Team A subsequently scores during the CE timeframe then the CE timeframe shall be deem terminated/expired.

Desired result: no more situations where Team A gets fouled, is not awarded merited free throws, Team A scores on subsenquent possession, then prior to next live ball CE is recognized, after which Team A is awarded free throws on top of the points Team A just scored.

Nothing. For the record, I'm against the wearing of arm/elbow sleeves as well, unless for an injury which is substantiated by documentation from a medical professional.

What about religious reasons?

Why? There is no fundamental basis for disallowing them.

And what is the difference between wearing a long sleeve undershirt vs. a short sleeve undershirt with arm/elbow sleeves....absolutely nothing aside from an arbitrary rule saying one is illegal.

Same thing for tights vs. compressions shorts, longish trucks, and really tall socks.

Some of these uniform rules have no reason to exsist aside from someone, somewhere in Nevada just not liking them.

That's not enough of a reason?
