There is no good reason for any of the basic definitions, fouls, or violations to be any different.

So, you think the NBA will go to 2 20 minute halves? Or should the Fed go to 4 12 minute quarters? Maybe 6 fouls for a DQ in college? Don't tell me the trapezoid is coming!

Trapezoid was done away with in FIBA this past year...so you're safe there!

Now if the NHL could do the same....

So we'd really have two techs and four FT's here?

The rule specifically is under 10-3-6e says: "Climbing on or lifting a teammate for greater height."

I would get the guy that jumped on his back because he did not have to jump on the guys back. Then again you could get the player that is the bigger jerk.

Do not complicate issues, give one T and move on. You really have an option in these cases. It is just a basic loophole in the rules as many things are.

Nope, got to do it by the book 100 percent.

While I said I actually wouldn't mind getting both players on this play, in reality, I'd pick one of the players.

The only "good" reason for not merging most of the rules is the fact that no one will be willing to give up their authority. Some rules, such as timing, foul limits, and even shot clocks, could be chalked up to level of play.

Others, however, such as the significant backcourt differences between FIBA and NFHS or the timeout process, are not. Is FIBA going to change their timeout procedure, or is NFHS?

Read my post again.....I clearly said they could have sub-sections to define different lengths of of games and such.
