If I could change one rule, it would be....

I like this one Camron.

Get rid of that stupid BC interp. I'd be satisfied with that.

I like both of those.

Other than on a made basket for the purposes of the correctable errors, when is that? You will never get coaches to agree with that one because they need those TOs to extend the game.

Me, too. Perhaps a change in the team control aspect.

I don't get it. You mean you want coaches to be able to call timeouts now?

Ok how about instead of 20 minute warm-ups, make the warm-up period 10 minutes (9 minutes to warm-up with the 1 minute to huddle)? With during halftime, the teams getting 5 minutes to talk (in locker room) & 4 minutes to warm-up (With the 1 minute still to huddle).

Anytime exercise is involved a person is supposed to do warm-ups to help the body prepare. I actually do some finger stretching & other arm movements beforehand.

Well, half-time is already 10 minutes; the coach just gets to make the decision on how to break it down.

As for pre-game warm-ups, there's no rule I'm aware of that even deals with its timing. Why do you feel the need to regulate those things? Or are you making jokes again?

I thought married people never had dates

Why are you talking about correctable errors? What does that have to do with coaches requesting timeouts?
