Change the backcourt rule such that frontcourt status is not established and no violation can occur when an airborne player establishes team control....that an airborne player who established team control and always make a normal landing even if someone else touches the ball first (i.e., ends the throwin).

I'd probably change it to where instead of a 2nd OT, go to a shootout, best of 5 like Hockey.

I'd actually like to experiment with this rule: two/three shots OR the ball. I don't know if it will discourage late-game fouls, but it's worth trying.

I disagree. I like the rule as it is. In a game where the trailing team tries to foul to catch up, how many fouls do you typically see for this purpose? Two, three, four at most? Note, I'm not asking for the worst case scenario, just the typical situation. I don't think it's broken.

And if we (me included) would call the intentional when it's warranted, it would also reduce it.

I asked you...when is the clock running and the ball is dead?

My point was...and correct me if I am wrong....when the ball checks through the net on a field goal, it becomes dead and then instantly alive for the purposes of the correctable error rules.

Maybe my caffeine hasn't kicked in yet but I don't know any other time that the ball is dead while the clock is moving.

Anyone??
