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

[chseagle]

No warm-ups before game or during halftime.

[Camron Rust]

Change the rule on remaining OOB after the throwin is released to be a violation instead of a T...and just give it a time limit of 3 seconds after the release that they have to be inbounds. It doesn't matter if they run across the court in that time, just as long as they get in.

Compression sleeves. Make 'em legal and have them fall under the headband color requirements or make 'em illegal, because we all know they are not used for medical reasons.

[Back In The Saddle]

Not grant a HC's time out request unless the ball is dead and the clock is stopped. I'd settle for unless the ball is dead, but would prefer both dead ball and stopped clock.

I like this one Camron.

1) Get rid of AP and start using Jump Balls again.

2) Get rid of Point of Interupption.

3) Stop being the fashion police except of keeping a players shorts up.

I know just one rule but I thought I could be the Basketball Czar for a day.



BUT, seriously, I would like to see the Closely Guarded rule changed to three feet instead of six feet and only while holding the ball. This is the rule in FIBA and NCAA Women's.

Without a shot clock in place, this wouldn't be a good idea.

Whoa, you may want to re-think that one, chseagle. The idea of a warm-up is to warm up. It's not only to get into game mode but it's a safety factor. That's why officials warm-up before a game also.

Wait, the officials are supposed to warm up? ... oh, you mean the floor officials! Well, that makes more sense...

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?
