1 Rule Change

[iubirdman]

Having just joined and actually being more of a coach than an official I thought I would throw this question out to all of you.

If there was a rule in the game that you would like to see added, removed or changed, what would it be?

For me it would be the fumble rule, nothing more unnatural than seeing a kid take 3-5 steps with a ball because they cannot hang on to it--it is worse yet when it is after they pick up the dribble and try to make a pass and fumble it.

It seems to reward kids for having bad hands as you can get a bit of an advantage with it when it happens.

I know everyone has their own rules that they do not like, just wondering what some of yours are

Switch the arrow as soon as the throw in starts for an AP throw in.

I have two...

*If A-1 touches/taps the ball from B's frontcourt to backcourt (assuming team control is already established), B-2 doesn't have to wait until the ball touches the backcourt's floor to be legal to play.

*Allow a team the freedom to review video anytime it wants.

Not a chance. There is a reason it was added and it was a good reason. Intelligently applied, it is a good rule.

The "strap" that hangs over the basket is inbounds.

Despite the published situation to the contrary, that is actually already the rule.

Portion of the correctable error rule: If a team is erroneously denied free throws the correctable error timeframe automatically ends if they subsequently score a field goal.

Only players on the court can request a time out!

Although I understand where you are coming from, would you really want to put that kind of potential pressure squarely on the shoulders of a 17 year old kid?

The pressure of what? Mirroring his coach's timeout request?

Kids are simply relaying what the barking coach wants. Well within their abilities as far as I'm concerned.

Somehow they did this long before the rule changed.

The only rule that must be changed. Dumb rule to give coaches this opportunity.
