1 Rule Change

I like changing that part of the correctable error rule, it seems like a double penalty for the foul, they score on the inbounds and then get a chance to shoot FT's when corrected, good call on that one

The defense is supposed to get penalized for committing fouls. If a team makes a good move and is fouled AND is good enough to get the rebound, should the defense get a break for the foul they committed?

I would say a rule change that penalizes the inferior team is not a good rule change. However, I will reserve my final judgement until I hear what BNR's rationale is.

I would like to have someone from both schools be responsible for being the uniform police. Or make it to where anything we see is a technical - one for each infraction throughout the game. That would force the coaches to make sure their kids wear the uniform the right way.

I am all for whatever rule changes reduce the possibility for inconsistency from crew to crew, association to association, state to state and sea to shining sea.

Maybe I phrased it wrong, if team a commits a foul that should have been a 1-1 for example, the officials and score keepers are late communicating and they take the ball out of bounds. Team B now has a chance to score on the inbounds, and when the play is over, they have a chance to go back and shoot FT's. Team B essentially ends up with 2 opps to score instead of 1

This could make for some interesting changes in defensive and offensive strategies. How about just making the count start when a player catches the ball in the paint?

This would also force some changes to the way the game is coached. Do you think some of these kids are smart enough to follow their coach's wishes during late game situations?

Can you explain your rationale? A1 is given 1 and 1 when it should be two free throws. A1 misses the first one, A2 gets the rebound and scores. The horn sounds, the officials realize it should have been two shots for A1, but he can't shoot them because A2 scored. Is that what you mean?

Your recap is my rationale If the officials hadn't erred Team A would not have scored FG. I just don't like the feel of a team having a throw-in when then they should have been shooting 1-and-1, they hit a three, the horn sounds, now they hit 2 free throws. A 5-point play b/c of an officiating error.

I just feel that if they score on a possession that should never have occurred then it is redundant to then go back and give them some free throws.

(and please, no one re-hash the old "the other team's coach should have spoken up" crappola argument )

Get rid of 95 percent of the uniform rules that NFHS passes off on officials. Also in a perfect world, I wouldn't mind the shot clock and/or restricted area.

[Rich]

I would extend correctable errors to include giving the wrong team the ball on the throw-in.

Yes, it would change how the game is coached. I would rather have the kids looking and listening for their coach than me. Since all the officials are mainly focused on the kids on the court, we would see and hear them much easier then their coach. I don't hear as well as I use to and I sometimes don't hear the request.

Coaches and officials have to pass a rules test with 90% (maybe 80% because they word some of the questions stupidly) to be able to officiate. Timed test. 2 goes at it. If you don't pass, you don't coach or officiate.

In FIBA the coach or assistant coach only can request a timeout through the scorer which is only granted during a deadball. It forces the players to decide the game, not the coaches.

Like.

Timeouts during relaxed action only.

I think the NCAA rewriting of the TF rules and the Flagrant Fouls 1 and 2 are just plain stupid and overly officious. All I can say is that just don't get me started and I would vote to rewind the clock at least ten years.
