Consequence of 10-6-12

I'll agree with your Freddy.

While our regular season doesn't start until next week, the players seem to be adapting to the hands off approach, and are bellying up a bit more as they try and stay with the offensive player after getting beaten. Maybe they'll adjust to that too and get smarter. Definitely something to keep an eye on and discuss in pre-games.

Yes, they appear to be using that part of their bodies, too.

I had a scrimmage on Saturday where the 1st quarter was a comedy of fouls on both sides in violation of the new rules (10-6-12). The next couple of quarters went well. Then, the players began to body up to make the defensive stops, and ugliness returned to reign supreme. Ugh!! The good thing about it all was that the coaches were on board with the new rules.

One of our coaches got frustrated when I called an extended forearm in the second half. They were up 30+ points and when the bench came in, they started fouling like the starters did in the first quarter before adjusting.

I hope they adjust sooner rather than later. It's no fun calling these fouls, that's for certain.
