Survey Says ...

2014 NFHS Basketball Rules Questionnaire

Part I – Are These Changes Made Last Year Satisfactory

1. The use of electronic devices is permitted during the game.

Don't care.

2. A single visible manufacturer's logo/trademark/reference is permitted on the team jersey, not to exceed 2 1/4 square inches with no dimension more than 2 1/4 inches. The manufacturer's logo may be located no more than 5
inches below the shoulder seam on the front of the jersey, or 2 inches from the neckline on the back of the jersey; or in either side insert.

Really do not care.

3. Leg compression sleeve was added to this rule to make its use consistent with the rule for wearing an arm compression sleeve. As with the arm compression sleeve, the leg compression sleeve must be white, beige, black or a single solid school color; must be the same color for each team member; and have only a single manufacturer’s logo. Leg compression sleeves must be worn for medical reasons.

How much can I say I do not care about this at all.

4. A team shall not use a megaphone or any electronic communication device at courtside, or electronic equipment for voice communication with players on the court.

Do not want the use of a megaphone in games. We hear them enough.

5. A team shall not use electronic audio and /or video devices to review a decision of the contest officials.

No need for this. One more reason to give them a technical foul.

6. The head coach may enter the court in the situation where a fight may break out – or has broken out – to prevent the situation from escalating.

Good change. Add any other adult on the bench for this too as long as they are grabbing their players.

Part II – Observations – Have You Seen In Your Area?

1. Contact on the high screen(s).

Not even sure what this means.

2. Hedging the dribbler – contact in the perimeter off screens/dribble drives.

Hardly ever see this.

3. Arm bar in the post by the defender.

Don't see this much anymore.

4. Officials not starting their count initially on closely guarded situations.

You could say this about many situations.

5. Officials moving too fast once call is made.

Happens often. Not sure what can be done about this other than local training.

6. Officials not using proper mechanics.

You could say that about anything. No one cares about little details.

7. The overuse of many different types of leg compression sleeves.

Yes, but I do not care.

8. The spin move called as travel.

I see more not called.

Part III – About Rules For 2014-15 – Would You Favor?

1. Allowing participants to wear tights.

Don't care.

2. Allowing the use of the "punch" signal for player-control foul as well as team-control foul.

Why not?

3. Changing the number of time-outs to 3-30s and 2-60s.

Don't care.

4. Allowing the 3-point line to be moved out by 2 inches.

Silly. Two inches do not mean that much unless you are talking about other things.

5. Playing with the 3-foot restricted-area arc to assist with calling block/charge on a secondary defender.

No. Not when many games are 2 person.

6. Allowing the use of a shot clock as a state adoption option.

I guess, but I see little need for one.

7. Allowing the use of 18-minute halves as a state adoption option.

Sure.

8. Adding more signals to the “signal chart.”

They needed to do this a long time ago.

9. Not using the "stop the clock signal" on violations.

On some out of bounds plays, but who cares?

10. Clarifying when the clock starts on a missed free throw that hasn't been touched and is rolling on the floor.

Why does this need clarifying? The ball often never touches the floor.

11. Eliminating the opportunity for the head coach to call time-out. It would have to come from a player on the playing court.

Long overdue. Causes too many problems at the high school level.

12. Eliminating the requirement for players or coaches to verify that compression sleeves are worn for medical reasons.

I don't ask anyway. And it is a silly requirement.

13. Allowing players to move into the lane on the release rather than wait for the ball to contact the ring.

Please. Not sure why they got rid of this.

14. Clarifying language on what announcers can announce during the contest.

I really do not care.

This survey had a lot of silly questions.

Peace
