NCAA-W rules survey

[wyo96]

Recently saw the NCAA-W new rule survey for coaches, officials and admin's.

There were several others, but here are a few I found interesting and my answer. Based on threads here, I am sure there will not be universal agreement on the correct changes/answers.
Disclaimer, all my experience is at HS and JC, so my answers are from that prospective, but I think the topics are good discussion for all levels.

Would you be in favor of permitting one assistant coach to enter the playing court without penalty when a fight or possible fight breaks out? Yes, in my limited experience/observation, that would help more than hurt.

Would you be in favor of adopting a five-second closely guarded violation on the dribbler when she is continuously guarded by the same defender for five seconds in the front court only? Yes, I like the current NFHS rule.

Would you be in favor of permitting coaches to be able to call a timeout ONLY during a dead ball (after a whistle blows or as soon as a ball goes through the net after a score)? No, I thought a lot about this one, but I am not yet ready to support this change.

If there were a 10-second back court violation, would you be in favor of using the shot clock to count the 10 seconds in addition to the official’s count? No, but I could be convinced otherwise. I am also unsure what “in addition to” means. Despite the “accuracy” of using an actual clock I am having trouble visualizing how I could have good vision of the players, the division line, and the shot clock. 99% of the time a 10 second violation is possible, there is considerable pressure in the BC. I don’t want to have to move my eyes off the action to the clock at the other end of the court.

Would you be in favor of putting the ball in play on the sideline for all fouls? No, not sure where this question comes from. Is there a problem with the current diagram?

Would you be in favor of the defensive team receiving the ball after a held ball instead of using the alternating-possession arrow? No, I think a held ball is a 50-50 issue, not a turnover. Until you reinstate the actual jump ball, AP is the best solution.
