I've heard that the NFHS has sent out proposed rule changes for 03-04 season for comment. Anyone heard these?
- Give neutral zone on FT's to opponent of shooter
- Limit number of lane spaces to be occupied during FT
- Adding Team Control Foul
- Mercy Rule (let clock run when down by xx points)

I can't remember the other 3. Anyone else heard these?

I don't know what the proposed changes are, but I'm in favor of all the ones you've listed.

Give neutral zone on FT's to opponent of shooter

What's this mean?

Thanks, I was too embarrased to ask.

Some of us are simply beyond embarrasment :)

(Beat ya again, JR!)

I believe it means let the defender closest to the basket put his foot on the block

Thanks, I thought it had something to do with the Romulans.

Other than the Mercy Rule, it sounds like they are pretty much following recent NCAA changes...

Was this one of the funniest SNL sketches of all time, or what? Chris Farley vs. Patrick Swazey in a Chippendale's tryout! Absolutely hysterical. How long ago was that, anyway? Jeez, I'm getting old. . . :(

Shows what you know Mr Smarty Pants, I don\'t have nearly that much hair!

Sound like good changes to me.

Here in Florida we worked this high school season with an experimental rule on number of players occupying lane spaces on free throws. Roughly it was the women\'s college rule. I liked it -- don\'t know what the coaches thought about it. From my perspective there seemed to be a lot more offensive rebounds from missed free throws than I\'ve noticed in the past.

As any Michigan official who had the mercy rule taken away this season will tell you, PLEASE, PLEASE bring it back!!!
