As one who did not vote for it, I just don't think it's necessary or even helpful. In the end, I really wouldn't care either way; I'm just not a fan of change for the sake of change, and that's how I see that one.

I vote for 2:

1. allowing the sleeves as long as they conform to the same restrictions as wrist and head bands.
2. TC on a throw-in. How they word it doesn't matter to me, as long as the rule is made similar to the NCAA. First, it would mean fewer confused officials when they come down from college. Second, it would be more consistent with the intent of the TCF rule.

Agree....it is a solution in search of a problem.

Likewise on both.

Plus, I like the idea of allowing a few moments (20 seconds, for example) to remedy a blood situation. It just doesn't seem right that a player has to leave the game (or call a timeout) if someone else's blood gets on them.

I can go with that, too. I like the idea. I was thinking of this as adding more burden rather than granting the team an "escape route," so to speak.

Guess we'll have to wait again for delayed return after a throw-in to be a violation instead of a T.

Shooting sleeve rule as is is farcical. We KNOW it is not for medical reasons.

Agreed on both.

It seems the kids are really encouraged to lie on this. Either require docs, or just let it go and regulate the colors. I'd rather see the rule make them conform to T-shirt standards, but I'd be ok with head/wrist band standards.

I'm sure the manufacturers have poured in money to the coffers of the Fed, so they won't get banned. They look dorky and I'm sure they don't increase FT percentages.

Although I support the 20 second interval, I cannot imagine a player having time to leave the visual confines and change jerseys and be back ready to play in 20 seconds. Rare to see the same jersey remain in the game.

I see Coach P's point though, if the jersey is clean.

I do not have any issue with the rules as written, so the only one in the poll I'd like to see is AT LEAST a 20 second interval to rectify a blood incident. Why penalize a A1 for needing a clean up and a band aid because of a B2 foul? I have to burn a TO now. We get that courtesy on a foul out....

One thing NOT on the poll that I'd like to see is ending lane participant restrictions when the ball hits the rim/backboard on the last FT attempt. Make it on the release like NCAA. Maybe next year.......

Thanks to everybody for voting. I find it very interesting that only one of the proposals has more than a 50% approval, and it's only a state adoption, not even an "across the board" change.

Maybe this year, we'll actually get NO changes!
