[QUOTE=Pantherdreams;962634]If you want things to be simpler for officials or simplify the rules there are easy ways to do that.

i agree 100pct. We have to simplify the rule book so that we have more automatic calls

Ive given them a long list. Will be interesting to see what gets traction. Things like
1. 2ndary defender cant step in and get a charge. You have to be actively guarding to get a charge. Just step in to try to beat to a spot and its automatic block

2. Grab/Clench in the post and its automatic foul, no matter what. Guys know that its tough to see, and when its seen, the official has to decide if it impacts the game. Grabs and clenches lead to pushes and shoves to extricate.

3. allow 3 steps for a layup. It doesnt really impact the game, it just looks bad and determining which is the first step can be tough. So make it 3 and deal with the heat we will get for it

4. Better define what a legal screen is. Open to suggestions here

5. Better define what is or isnt incidental contact on drives to the basket. Offensive players have figured out that the officials look at the bodies of the defenders. When there is contact , its very rare it becomes an offensive foul, and its likely its a defensive foul, so we see guys trying to create contact for the sake of conact

6. Get rid of verticality. Block the shot or get out of the way
