NCAA Rules that NFHS or State Associations should try out?

Technical fouls are supposed to be a deterrent against unsporting conduct, especially at the high school level. That's why a loss-of-ball was included in the penalty for a "T". And it seems that it's almost an annual occurrence to have an NFHS POE issued about having incidents of unsporting conduct reduced. And yet you're proposing a rule that has a chance of promoting or increasing those incidents by reducing the penalties for them? That doesn't make sense to me, Jeff.

Any coach...or player.... with half a brain is just gonna wait until his team has the ball before he goes off on us.

I am one who would b in favor of reducing the T T penalty. Personally I would like to see one shot T like the NBA. Rationale. There are too many officials that think the penalty for a T is so severe ... could be a 4-5 point swing that there threshold is way high and it allows too many antics from coaches, and even some players... If it was one shot and POI you tell the individual that he got your attention, you have penalized it, and they are half way out the door.

We might take care of business earlier and more often. BTW same rationale that swinging elbows went from a T to a violation...
