Modified Rules

[doubleringer]

There are a few tournaments around these parts where 1 unsporting T earns an ejection from the game, any other unsporting technical fouls on the player or coach in subsequent games earns an ejection from the tournament. I like working those.

If the five aggregate are reached in the first half of a game, the player in ineligible until the 9 minute mark of the second half. Succeeding fouls after that 9 minute re- entry will follow the “50% rule”. All Star Committee will keep track of foul out rule if a player fouls out of the game.

This basically means, as worded, that when they return and foul again, they must sit out another 50% of the time that was left on the clock at the time of their fifth aggregate foul..

And that will be until beyond the end of the 4th quarter....50% + 50% plus whatever time they were actually back in the game.

Of course, they may have intended to reset the 50% time to be 50% of time of the time remaining at current foul, but that is not what they said.

That would go one of two ways.

1. The way it was intended.
2. Making officials reluctant to call that first T.

That seems to be way too much to deal with...

A couple more rules from men's leagues here:

After 5th personal foul, any foul committed by that player is treated as an intentional foul. (This is only for teams that start with 4 or 5 players.)

3 unsporting technicals on a team in 1 game = forfeit.

I can tell you I am not reluctant to call assess the first T. I enforce sportsmanship like I would on any other night. Ususally after the first one, coaches and players figure it out.

I know you well enough to know this is true, and I wouldn't either. Some would due to the increased penalty, just like the elbow violation was never called.

+1

How many of you called the excessive elbow swinging when it was T? Now how many of you have called it since it was changed to a violation?

I'm not saying it's wrong or right, I'm just saying that I'm guessing a lot more officials are inclined to call it since the penalty was changed.

The same would happen if they make delay in returning to the court after a throw-in a violation instead of a T.

I haven't seen either happen yet in my short career. I'd call either if I did.

I've had it happen once in 12 years.

Middle school game, I'm the L on the end line. Kid inbounds the ball, pauses for 1 second then runs the entire length of the end line and enters the court at the 3 point line where he receives the ball. As soon as he touches I hit the whistle and call the T.

Coach was livid and I can only assume they drew the play up this way.

Coach refused to believe the penalty was a T and didn't want to let it go after the game.

why not just follow what the Harlem Globetrotters are doing?

4-pt. shot & penalty box

Only difference I would do is make any foul a penalty, & base the time in the penalty box on the severity of the foul.

This way there can be basketball power plays & penalty kills.

Yeah, because what basketball needs is for us to make it more similar to a sport nobody watches.
