1 Rule Change

[Raymond]

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?

They handled it for decades just fine until the rule was changed to allow coaches to request the timeouts.

Still don't see the issue with allowing coaches to ask for timeout

The problem is not them asking for a timeout, the problem is the fact they do not understand that we are not paying attention to them. Then again I also remember a time when only players could request the timeouts and somehow the players made the request just fine. I have been involved or seen too many issues come up because the coach thinks we are somehow obligated to pay attention to them. When you have a rule that has to constantly remind people that never pick up a rulebook or watch a rules video on the fact that the officials are not paying attention to them and have other duties, it is time to change the rule back to what it once was.

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.

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
