Box? What is this box you speak of? Does it exist in other states?

I called exactly one intentional foul at the end of the game this season. And it was a player who reached out and grabbed the player by the waist from behind.

Maybe things are broken at your level, but I get the first foul and I have no problems with end of game fouling.

Have worked in Minnesota for the past 10 years. We went to 18 minute halves a few years ago and I enjoy it. It was different the first year but once everybody got used to it, it seems to work well. It caused games to have a greater flow.

I would like to see them give teams a 15 minute warm up instead of 20. Kids are loose and don't need 20 minutes to warm up. Officials don't need to be on the court until 10 minutes left. Have your meeting at 7 minutes and go from there.

I think they should go back to the rule where time outs can only be called from the players during a live ball. Would make things much easier.

So you would want only players, not officials, to be able to call timeouts?

I think we all know what he means. Baseline v. endline IMO.

A1 was calling for a time-out and Rich granted it. Same difference, huh?

That's a local level issue as it is not mandated by NFHS that players warm up for 20 minutes.

I can. It's automatic.

i hate having to turn around to see who is calling a time out. if i am watching the coach, who is watching the players?

During a live ball, only players can request a time out.

At any level shot clock operation can be a problem, game clock operation can be a problem at any level.

Shot clock operations are a lot more complicated than the scoreboard.

It also depends on the person's experience & their maturity level as to how well they comprehend what needs to be done.

Depending on the scoreboard setup, I beg to differ as to which can be more complicated.

Ok so let's make everything simplistic & have FED adopt all NCAA Rules.

chseagle...on a side note:

Would you like a rule MANDATING that clock operators/scorebook keepers wear stripes/grays/uniform so that the officials can more readily see you at the table?

Remember...now the whole gym can see who the table officials are...
