Rule change thread - for real, this time

[cmathews]

I know I will be more un popular than popular here..but...

I like the team control on throw ins change..with exceptions noted above.

I like switching the arrow when at the disposal.

I don't mind coaches calling time outs.....

I want to get rid of the coaching box.....ok now before all the applause....I mean I want to let them roam from the baseline to mid court...ok extend the box may be better. As long as they are coaching I really don't care where they are. If they are "coaching" me in an unsporting manner I really don't care where they are the deserve a T...so in essence the box really doesn't help us that much..

I also want to get rid of the seat belt...Just because they got a T doesn't mean they need to sit the rest of the game....again if they are coaching I really don't give a rats big behind...if they aren't they deserve a T whether sitting or standing....

Ok off the soap box, putting on the bullet proof attire

fire away LOL

Are you an ex-coach?

Interesting....?? That would be more consistent with how it is called in our area. (by observation, whether this is right or wrong is for another thread)
The box has been a POE from Nationals and state for a while, and it is still not strictly, nor uniformly enforced.

I agree with these two.

I don't disagree with this one. Having such a small area doesn't make sense, in that it does not, by itself, improve sportsmanship. Why not give the coach the opportunity to coach their team without having to worry about exactly where they are standing (off the floor, of course).

This one I may still disagree. I could live with the argument that a coach should not be seatbelted after an administrative T, for example. But I still feel that, especially in HS sports, sportsmanship still needs to be a very important part of the game. Therefore, the penalty for an unsporting T should still carry the addtional weight of losing the box. Now, if I was king, I might even consider them losing the box for an unsporting act by a player, not even just bench personnel. In my own little world, I might allow them to keep the box as long as the player that received the T stayed on the bench. This would put more emphasis on a coach controling their players directly. (But, boy would I need a picture of a windmill to remind me how easy it would be to get something like that passed...)

Huh? Presently the box isn't lost due to an administrative T.

Well, crap, you're right. That's what I get for trying to hurry up and leave the office...

As I think about it, the times a coach loses the box is due to unsporting behavior of some kind. Ok, that stays...I'm actually advocating perhaps allowing a larger box, but make the coach responsible for all unsporting behavior, even on the court.

Well, actually, I don't like seat-belting the HC for a team member dunking in warm-ups. That needs to be changed to simply a direct T charged to the team member, no indirect to the HC.

I agree with these two. I only work a handful of college games each year, but I like the coach being able to go down to the endline. I also don't like the seatbelt rule -- one, having to have an official address the coach after a T isn't productive, but the seatbelt rule forces this on us. Also, as soon as a coach gets whacked, it's over as far as I'm concerned. We should *all* go back to square one.

Our state treats the box as a "privilege". I find that ridiculous. It's part of the game. So are occasional technical fouls. Yawn.
