Rule change thread - for real, this time

[just another ref]

Remove 4.19.8 C from the case book. Nobody would ever come to this conclusion on his own based on the applicable rules involved.

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

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.

Seriously, what's the big deal? I know 44.92% of all statistics are made up, but maybe one time out of ten, I called for a timeout before a player of mine was trapped, or was about to violate. The other 9 were OBVIOUS to the granting official, such as after a 8-0 run by the opponent.

Also, my rule change vote is for lane restrictions to end on the release of the last free throw.

I hope that, finally, players not returning directly to the court immediately after a throw-in would result in a violation.
I am fine with the T penalty in HS remaining the same. Unsporting conduct should carry a more severe penalty. And if a team is disadvantaged disproportionately, then they can be PO'd at the offender.

+1 I don't believe this is getting called as a T,
So make it a violation and it should be called more...

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?

[Jurassic Referee]

Uniform rules should be enforced by the home AD's who are automatically appointed as special Uniform Constables by the respective state offices. Let them worry about the enforcement and penalties, and let us stick to worrying about the game.
