It's inconceivable to me how this could be a block or a no call. The offensive player goes thru (making ample contact) the defender who has LGP. If this is a no-call, then there's no such thing as a...

My point exactly: When a defender leans and leans, and then clearly pushes with an extended arm, we now call that "incidental contact" simply because the offended player does not fall to the floor....

Butler-Gonzaga finish

The guy who stole the ball in the final seconds last night committed two fouls. Of course, no "good official" would ever call either one in that case. But by rule both were fouls. He pushed the big...

Charge

This play exemplifies all that is wrong with BB. Everybody wants to see a great dunk. So three officials stand there and watch as a guy runs over a defender. I know, I know, no one wants to be the...

And we all agree that he O player traveled at the beginning of the move to the basket. Left foot is pivot foot, clealy picks up left foot before releasing ball to start dribble. Travel. Then he...

I am not stupid enough to be a pioneer. It would have to be done top down--it would be foolish (and useless) to go on a crusade.

No, apparently FIBA is simply enforcing the standard, proper rules, so that the game of BB can be played the way it was intended.

Wow, so finally, some people are hearing what I am saying. Yes, it is exactly as you say: when a player goes strong side, instead of crosings over, it would be an automatic travel (if we are applying...

Uh, that is my point. If this rule were enforced, players would learn to play the game how it was meant to be played. Then there would not be 40 traveling violations. But, as I stated clearly, this...

Traveling

Hey Guys,
I follow this board, but don't chime in much. But I wanted to get your thoughts on this:

It seems to me that the blatant lack of travel calls at all levels is seriously and adversley...

Suggested rules change

I cannot think of one good reason for not changing the timeout rule to this:

A team gets five timeouts per game, with a maximum of 3 fulls.

There is nothing more irritating, and unnecessary,...

Bobbled pass

Actually the correct call, by rule, without a doubt would be 3 seconds. Williams enters the lane at :07 ... I know, I know, we would never call it in that situation. But still, that is clearly UGA's...
