I think the whole current NBA is a byproduct of street ball.

If they would just ref the rules as written like every other major sport it would be a lot better game.

College is my last bastion of real basketball and the thug life is affecting that too.

Basketball Rules Changes I Would Like To See

Ditto

HawkCat

Logical changes without giving advantages to teams.

Heinz57

3/18/15 8:56pm

I like all of them except 4 and 6

BYUCougarsFan

3/18/15 9:00pm

The line is eventually going to move

JohnHaddow

3/18/15 9:03pm

I'm with you on 1 - 5, they would help the game.

Born2Fish

End of game is a problem

JohnHaddow

3/18/15 9:05pm

The NBA fixed this by saying you have to foul the man with the ball

#6 is a terrible idea, one FT and the ball? I don't get it.

mosterlow

3/18/15 9:04pm

Intentional foul loosely disguised as a legit foul.

BluePete

3/18/15 9:05pm

But that's a key strategic move to catch up

mosterlow

3/18/15 9:09pm

Gotcha. I'm just not a fan of changing the last few minutes to accommodate

BluePete

3/18/15 9:11pm

How about you pick the free throw shooter in the last minute.

RealityCheck

I'd like some tightening of the dribble (palming) rule as well as disallowing

BluePete

3/18/15 9:04pm

I agree on this

JohnHaddow

3/18/15 9:06pm

Whew...

Heinz57

3/18/15 9:07pm

I agree with the 30 second rule

lbm2051

3/18/15 9:42pm

The backing down and palming are both against the rules

More a byproduct of street ball

Totally agree, but then some players like Karnowski and Waldow would become

Or this rule...

They cant - unless the refs ignore the rule as written

PolarisPrime

3/18/15 9:59pm

Technically, if the first guy has possession, then the second should be called

Almaden Cougar

Can't agree more - this has to change for the safety of the players!

jaba166

3/19/15 2:56am

I thought #3 was already a rule? I didn't know the 10 second count reset if a

Another I'd like to see.

I would like that better than a 30 second shot clock.

PolarisPrime

3/18/15 10:15pm

I hope they don't change the 3 point line. It's an equalizer. Helps with parity

I would like a 4 point line.

Ssebo

3/18/15 9:22pm

Call it the "Jimmer Line"

jaredm

Plus give each player 6 fouls

TADOW

3/18/15 10:02pm

Not bad

PolarisPrime

3/18/15 10:14pm

I'd eliminate the double bonus completely.

Wazzucougsx2

3/18/15 10:40pm

There should be an active ref for the refs, who calls ref fouls. Needed one yest

Almaden Cougar

3/18/15 11:42pm

When an offensive player initiates contact I'd like it to be a no-call

BYUfan92

3/18/15 10:42pm

Fix the charging rule.

That stupid 1/2 circle is the worst thing ever in basketball

PolarisPrime

3/18/15 11:55pm

Everyone is bagging on 6, but I think the fouling issue is the dumbest thing

QBarrister

3/19/15 8:54am

6 fouls... inconsistant officiating killing good players

RealityCheck

3/19/15 8:58am

No "fouling out" of the game...

Veruca

3/19/15 9:46am

Palming/Carrying needs to be enforced

lbmango

3/19/15 10:42am

I would like 4 points for a shot beyond half-court.
