How can compression sleeves become "a problem?"

Question number 13 makes no sense to me
|
I don't understand why we'd go to a coin toss, but at least it would make the inane "who's the speaking captain" that so many ask at least somewhat meaningful.

Scorers shirt--yes
First set 1,2,4 New Rules 3,5,6 or 7,8,10,12 Mechanics We do both of these already in our state. Long switches are bad. Also nothing worse than one guy going up with held ball and another going up with a closed fist. If you go up with open hand, much easier to handle. |

None of that seems to be allowed with the questionnaire. |

I don't get it either. |
With regard to uniform and equipment "becoming a problem"...the only problem is with the way their rules are written and expecting officials to be fashion/uniform police. Either allow an item or don't. Don't put in "medical" qualifications, color stipulations, length, texture, hardness...on and on and on. It is getting absurd and the Fed seems hell bent on adding even more stipulations to each piece of trendy components.

We (my regular partners and I) already go into a held ball situation with whistles only and only when we get eye contact and know neither of us have a foul or a violation -- only THEN do we go up with the thumbs. Only takes an extra second, but saves us from having differing signals.
I'd rather not have the stop clock signal mandated. Then we wouldn't know if we had a violation or a held ball. Our way works better, IMO. Of course, the NFHS feels that timers aren't capable of stopping the clock with whistles only, so that would never be the preferred mechanic. We haven't long switched on a backcourt foul in...well, I can't remember how long. |

Continuous motion? I wish their survey writers were more familiar with the concept of a verb. :mad: |

NFHS Basketball Rules Questionnaire
Are These Changes Made Last Year Satisfactory? 1. The official scorer is required to wear a black-and-white vertically striped garment. Yes Have You Seen In Your Area? 1. Leg compression sleeves/calf sleeves becoming a problem. Not yet… 2. The consistent enforcement of the arm compression sleeve. No 3. Intentional fouls properly called throughout the contest. No 4. Inconsistent compliance with the rule on headband/wristband colors. No 5. Headbands wider than 2 inches becoming a problem. No 6. More players being allowed to wear tights. No – HUGE Issue of players wearing wild/non-matching socks….I hate being the fashion police, but we are concerned about two different colors of thin headbands, yet a player can wear one purple sock and one green sock with his team’s RED UNIFORM??? 7. Officials spending more time addressing concerns voiced by coaches. Yes…not sure why…More T’s as well…. 8. Schools requesting permission for players to wear some type of headgear for protection because of a concussion. No 9. Improvement in the calls made on contact above the shoulders. No About Rules For 2013-14 – Would You Favor? 1. Eliminating the jump ball to start the game and any overtime period. Yes (More fair – tall player’s team has an advantage – eliminates bad toss problem as well) 2. Determining initial possession of the ball with a coin toss during the pregame conference with captains and coaches. Yes 3. Legalizing the use of electronic devices in the bench area. Yes – too difficult to police 4. Strengthening the penalty for illegal elbow contact above the shoulders. No 5. Reducing the closely guarded situation from 6 feet to 3 feet. Yes – SIX FEET is NOT CLOSE!! Award Good defense, not just being in the same zip code! 6. Playing the game in two 18-minute halves. Yes 7. Playing the game in two 16-minute halves. Yes 8. Allowing a visible manufacturer's logo on the jersey. Yes 9. Changing "intentional foul" to "excessive foul" to better clarify. Use Both 10.

Eliminating the long switch on a foul in the backcourt. Yes |
I don't think changing closely guarded to 3 feet is a good idea. At least in the games I have, there is a 5 second count that gets called maybe once every 3 games. Moving it to 3 feet is going to create a lot of extra potential for contact that NFHS doesn't want to encourage I think.

I would be alright with playing games in halves, either 16 or 18. For the coaches box, I don't really pay that much attention as it is (yes, I'm that guy with the box), and would prefer the 28' box. Free throws, yes they should go on the release in the lane. For long switches, yes do away with that mechanic. Where I started, we didn't do it, where I am currently we do. It sucks and is a waste of dead ball time while we are switching. Don't recall the rest, but the jump ball needs to stay, sucks if you don't have tall players or don't have players who can't jump. The uniform rules are stupid all around and I hate being the uniform police. I enforce what's expected to be enforced, and could give a rats a$$ about the rest.

It may indeed have additional benefit to the manufacturer but if they don't have to discount it, they won't. |
