What rule would you change?

Because it would also be basket interference. Forces us to pick our poison.

So what? What are your signals for the two violations?

I think for basket interference he signals the basket good (or not). For goaltending I believe Billy takes his belt off and waves it back and forth over his head.

The signals are irrelevant. Touching the ball in the cylinder is basket interference. It's not goaltending.

I'd like 16 minute halfs instead of 4 quarters.

How about 18 minute halves. We do that here in MN. Of course JV(B squad and lower) are shorter but still played in halves.

Will our game fees be increased by 12.5%?

Switch the arrow as soon as the thrower gets the ball for the AP throw in.

I know, I know.

I'd settle for allowing coaches to request a TO only during a dead ball.

How about 8 minute halves?

As long as they are running clock halves.

Unless it's on its downward flight, in which case it is (also) goaltending.

As mentioned above, so what?

If a player lifts his pivot and places it back down out of bounds, which is it, out of bounds or traveling?

I'm the same with previous, headband/jersey colors, logos, etc.

Also, I would get rid of pre-game dunking being a T. If it's a shot you might actually make in a game, you should be able to practice it.

And how about getting rid of AP arrow! Jump ball between the two who tied it up man, makes things more exciting!!

While in general, I perfer the jump ball, that would be awful in girls game.

Not in high school. College, certainly, but not high school.

My change: Change the wording of a technical foul for "grasping" the ring to "hanging from" the ring. The latter does significantly more damage than the former.

While I was half joking about the jump ball, I actually didn't think about how miserable a girls game would be, 2 1/2 hours minimum!
