I hate how they call this now. Anytime a defender touches the ball
it seems like they call a held ball.

If I could change 1 rule about basketball:

Like when a driving player lunges off to the side

Wholeheartedly agree on both points; although I have seen a positive shift on
RebelScum

Yes, like Haws and Jimmer

3/5/15 2:05pm
Likewise, if a defender in or around the key has a well-established position,

I though that was already the rule.

If so, it doesn't get called that. If they both leave their feet, it's almost

I would get rid of free throws and start a hockey type system of sitting in

And you thought byus defense was bad with five players
Cougarclaw

Fouling for advantage late in games is clearly a problem. Not sure of solution.

3/5/15 2:41pm
Give the fouled team a choice between free throws or 1 FT + get ball back
Hinta
3/5/15 2:44pm
I like it.
db59840
3/5/15 2:54pm
Give the team with the ball the option to get the ball
Thrill

The fouled team would always take the ball out with my system.

Speaking of the 25 rules...
jota
3/5/15 1:15pm
correct- this happens every time a layup is completed
claw
3/5/15 1:43pm
exactly.. and I used the example of a layup to illustrate the rule

One more FIBA reference - shots are the exception to the travelling rule. You

Again I can only speak to FIBA but when you do a jump stop both feet become

if you stop and pivot then perform a jump shot is it a travel when the pivot foo
claw
3/5/15 1:48pm
Obviously no--but that doesn't address the hypothetical of hopping on one foot
SpecialT
3/5/15 1:59pm
obviously can't hop around-once both feet leave the ground you are done
claw
3/5/15 2:05pm
What rules do they use? I ref FIBA, and if you lift pivot before dribbling it

Not exactly correct as cited

Raise the rim to 12 feet.

What would this solve?
RC Vikings
3/5/15 1:19pm
Pull people away from the basket and decrease contact.
Blue Print
3/5/15 1:25pm
and make the game look like high school girls basketball...
icecougar
3/5/15 4:19pm
It's probably not a rule but the enforcement: loose balls/jump balls
fattycoug
3/5/15 1:18pm
That is a lot of charging calls. I don't like it at all.
Walter Bellhaven
3/5/15 1:40pm
So instead we got a lot of defensive fouls
StealingHome
3/5/15 1:47pm
How many times does a defender bail out and still make contact?
Walter Bellhaven
3/5/15 2:03pm
Not at all. There wouldn't need to be any increase in offensive fouls
tassell
3/5/15 4:55pm
how come intentially fouling to stop the clock is not called an intentional foul
claw
3/5/15 1:41pm
Intentional foul shouldn't even be a rule (if it is). Either the foul is
db59840
3/5/15 1:50pm
Seriously. I think the word "intentional" is misleading and should be changed
credfern84
3/5/15 2:07pm
What's an intentional foul? No such thing.
rggee
3/5/15 2:10pm
True. Not any more. I think this issue was solved already.
RebelScum
3/5/15 2:14pm
Yep, in 2011, NCAA got rid of "intentional fouls," changed to Flagrant 1 or

It was in reference to the original doc written for HS basketball, in which

The defender should have the right to the space immediately over his head/feet.

3/5/15 1:41pm
Also...call it the Waldow rule...an offensive player should not be able to
ol' Blue Eyes
3/5/15 1:43pm
Agreed. In fact, that's how the rules are pretty much written. They're just not

We have the NBA and Shaq to thank for this one I think.

This is such an obvious fix, it's unbelievable they haven't done it yet.

Does utah have a shot clock in high school?
sdg_coug
3/5/15 4:17pm
not a rule I'd change, 2 rules I'd enforce that get ignored (drives me nuts!)...
icecougar
3/5/15 4:05pm
another thing that drives me nuts...
icecougar
3/5/15 4:15pm
I think a flop should be a foul on the flopper
HarlemCoug
3/5/15 4:10pm
flopping is already ruled a technical foul
sdg_coug
3/5/15 4:13pm
It is just VERY rare to see it.
db59840
3/5/15 4:13pm
I've only called that once in the last 15 years
sdg_coug
3/5/15 4:21pm
Lol on that last one. Yeah, it's hard to follow all the rules as a ref
db59840
3/5/15 4:42pm
5 seconds closely guarded rule
BigSmooth
3/5/15 4:45pm
Or at least enforce the current rule. It's supposed to be that the count
db59840
3/5/15 4:46pm
That is such a stupid rule.

? I hate watching basketball games where the ref spends all his time constantly
fredgarvin
3/6/15 10:08am
There are three refs. They are not all counting, just the top guy closest
Big Daddy D
3/6/15 12:18pm
The five second rule is awesome because it rewards defensive tenacity
Big Daddy D
3/6/15 9:43am
It doesn't do that, it just makes the defense try to guard someone 40 feet

You just don't understand the game!
