Give us Yes or No and rules citation.

Whack!

That league also has a rule against having jerseys tucked in. :p

My buddy who pointed this out to me asked me if it would be the same tech in the NBA...I said who knows?? They let you do all kinds of weird stuff in that league!

This is an illegal assist in scoring violation in the NBA rather than a T...ball goes to the opponent at the FT line extended.

Nice. I just wish they would make every rule set the same.

Not practical nor needed...different levels have different goals and end games. In reality, compared to the other rules sets, basketball is pretty similar. Football is a whole other matter. I've seen that there's up to 300 rules differences just between the NFL and NCAA...and NF does things that don't even make sense to me.

Also here's your rules citation

Rule 10, Section 3 Player Technical
A player shall not:

ART. 6...Commit an unsporting foul. This includes, but is not limited to, acts or conduct such as:
e. Climbing on or lifting a teammate to secure greater height.

Inquiring Minds Want to Know ...
 

So? Who gets charged with the technical foul, the climber, the lifter, or both?

Who jumped on a teammate's back? That seems to answer my question. ;)

Peace

Why isn't it practical? Many of the differences that do exist have nothing to do with the different end goals of the various levels. It wouldn't be difficult to bring them all into alignment under a single body with sub-sections to differentiate where it makes sense (length of game, 3-point line distance, uniform requirements, etc.).

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

Totally agree Camron. Couldn't have said it better.

While this is true, there's no compelling reason that's going to get the various councils, committees, and poohbahs to relinquish control to change rules. Some of the differences are fairly significant (backcourt, for example, between FIBA and NFHS), while others are less so ("intentional" vs "unsporting").

Time outs, for example, are simply a part of the strategy of the American game.

It's because of timeouts that you can tie 80% of NBE games at 84 and put 2:00 on the clock.

I dunno how timeouts in the NBA in the first 46 minutes help keep games close? :confused: Heck, most of the called timeouts are mandatory anyhow. I could see how being able to advance the ball under two minutes in the 4th could help a team come back, but doesn't FIBA also allow an advance?
