Absolutely! No reason to be different. At least that way you would be less likely to have people bastardizing the rule and calling it in a way that doesn't match any of the levels or calling it at one level as it is specified for a different level.

As far as the rule goes, YES. No reason to be different.

Again, Yes. No reason to be different.

Now, if you actually read my post, I suggested that there would be timing differences for different levels....that means the shot clock could be longer for lower levels.....even 8 minutes if you want. But the rules of when it starts and when it resets should be 100% the same.

That is the question you should ask about the current situation. I'm suggesting that there be no rules differences. If there are no differences, what is there for them to handle.

Oh please. There really isn't anything more complicated about the NBA RULES than in NCAA or HS that needs to be different.

Peace

Advantage/Disadvantage or whatever the current terminology would be is all you need to differentiate the levels. Let the pros play through more contact while kids are called more tightly. The rules can be the same, just the threshold of what becomes a foul vs incidental can change.

And again, before you refute my post with points relating to 24 seconds or 8 seconds, you might want to actually read and understand my post. If you had, you would have never made those points.
