What rule changes do you want to see?

Higher the rim to 14 feet. It's to easy for players to dunk on.

 

Sure.

A team technical doesn't count towards personal techs now in the NBA I believe either.

 

Eliminate blocking fouls.

Get rid of fouls that reward an offensive player for lowering his shoulder and plowing over a defender just because the defender's "feet weren't set".

 

I'm going to use the same argument that I use for gun control...

If they would just enforce the rules already on the books, I would be so happy.

 

You watched Space Jam again last night I'll bet

 

More specifically, move "offensive player initiated contact" to the non-call category. If you hip check a driving player, that should still be a foul, but shit like you talk about should be a non-call. That said, it'd probably reduce guard effectiveness and we just invested a quarter of a billion dollars in two guards...

 

Make stiffer penalties for hitting below the belt...

 

Compulsory ejection, compulsory fine. There should be no debate, no judgment. If jimmies are rustled, even by accident, tough shit.

 

This is not a counter. Again you gotta referee a lot of games to know this. You only award a timeout when you see clear possession. You actually made my point. There have been many times when I've had to tell a coach his team didn't have possession of the ball when he called for time.

 

In HS/college if you're falling out of bounds you can't call for time. And just like a coach can tell his player to run a play they can tell a player to call for time.

 

Your wording is better than mine, and closer to what I meant.

But, our guards do not draw that many fouls. Free throw attempts per game;
Dame is #17 (6.3 PG) last season,
Mason #48 ( 3.96),
CJ #89 (2.99).

If you go by free throw attempts per minutes played, Ed Davies has more than CJ.

Guess I am tired of watching Harden score so many points off of this silly blocking rule.

 

Jesus guys....

Your feet don't have to be set to draw a charge. You can be moving.

I wanted to THROW something at Rice every time he said "he wasn't set".

Very common misconception.

 

Hate Beirdo all you want it's not his fault. It's the referee's fault who rewards the flop.

 

So what you're saying is you wouldn't change a thing in the NBA rule book?

 

Then make the refs wear the ankle weights!

 

I'm really not trying to be condescending when I say this:

There's lots some of you don't know.

Foul: Illegal contact that disrupts a players BSRQ. Balance, Speed, Rhythm, Quickness.

 

Under the basket, inside the semi-circle, the defenders feet do not need to be set.
Outside the semi-circle, defenders get called for a blocking foul if their feet are not set.

 

There's not a lot I'd change. Above I said I'd make it so only players could call time. I'd also change goaltending to the FIBA rule. I'd have to think deeper but I wouldn't change a lot. I'd change nothing about the rules of illegal contact.

 

What. you have Mason, as in Mason Plumlee as our guard?
Or your just listing our highest on the roster period?
