And then you could shorten the three point line and bring back the grungy basketball of the 90's. It would be basketball Nirvana!
The owners would never go for the loss of the revenue from those premium seats. They would probably go for 4 on 4 play before they let seats vanish. Not saying I agree. I think there is also a liability with how close cameramen sit under the basket and am surprised there aren't more injuries with players crashing into them.
Not true. Equivalent eFG% shots are not all equal. A missed shot is more valuable because the team can get an offensive rebound. If a team makes the shot the opponent gets the ball 100% of the time.
Offensive rebounds don't help more than making a shot because they just continue an otherwise unsuccessful possession. If you make a shot you're rewarded with points. If you get an offensive rebound you're rewarded with the OPPORTUNITY to get points.
Blocked shots = 1 point. That way shit free throw shooting big men can contribute by not being shit on defense.
Each player gets to pick a 2 foot in diameter circle and that area is worth 1 extra point if they make a shot from there. Big guys and slashers could get 3 point layups while shooters could get 4 point shots. Defenses would take away the circles which are painted on the floor pregame. When refs blatantly change momentum of a game fans can vote with an iPad under their chair whether or not the ref should be crucified
The flagrant foul will now be an automatic ejection but will also be worth 5 points in the forth quarter. This way if you are being blown out by 25 you can get back in the game by making your white guys feel useful
