Here's one to consider and it would really change the game. Give teams in the bonus the option, when fouled, to shoot the free throws or just take a throw-in. This would stop all that ridiculous fouling by trailing teams at the end of a game. A minor point - it would also take away our need to decide if a foul in that situation was a "normal" foul or intentional, which can be a real pain.

Ya' know, we're going to have a rules committee meeting soon for our local kids rec league. I might just bring this one up and see if there's any support. I think it would be really interesting to try it in a league like this as an experiment. We sometimes get really rough fouls at the end of games, which is not that unusual for a rec league.

Hate the suggestion. Like Snaq said, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Also, I do agree with tref - how do we handle the administration of the decision? What if they don't tell us right away? Do we start the 20-second clock? Do they get to use the time for discussion with their players, like they do for player disqualifications? What if they don't tell us? Do we get to choose? Is it a T? Do you use this choice only in the last minute? Two minutes? 5 minutes? All fouls after the 10th? While I think the idea in theory has some merit, writing the specifics and the administration would be a problem..

I wonder if Mark's rule change would have the desire effect. That is, would it be a deterrent to fouling at the end of the game?
Let's say the rule is in place. A-1 fouls B-2. Team B opts for the throw-in, so Team A goes for steal on the throw-in, while the clock is stopped. And fouls. And does it again. And again. I don't see a deterrent here. |

![]() The captain had to say almost immediately if they opted for a throw-in instead of the free throws. In any case they had to tell before a time-out had started. We had to remember who was the captain and who was their alternate in case of a substitution (a real PITA). The throw-in was from the division line. Ciao |

Here's some I've heard over the past few years from other officials.
1) go to 16 minute halves 2) return to four full timeouts (eliminates "Coach - 60 or 30? 60 or 30? 60 or 30? 60 or 30? 60 or 30? 60 or 30? 60 or 30? 60 or 30? 60 or 30?") 3) eliminate restrictions on logos and corporate sponsorships on uniforms - after all, as long as we can read their numbers on front and back, what the heck difference does it make? If a corporation wants to pay for uniforms and save the school money and all it wants in return is it's logo visible on the uniforms, who cares? (this suggestion came from a ref who's also a HS English teacher) 4) anytime a coach receives two direct technicals, he also gets smacked upside the head with a frying pan (OK - that one is from me) 5) require each team to have at least 5 hot moms in the bleachers at every game (OK - that one is from me, too - plus about 5 other guys) ![]()
