Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 160048, member: 173"] I disagree. If they blow fewer whistles for jump balls, it means that the play will go longer and guys will be getting hit with elbows. So the game will be longer anyway, because we'll have 16 technical fouls for guys getting hit by elbows if they call that play the way it is currently called. So the game will be longer, and the refs will have significantly greater influence on the outcome. They would need to do away with the T for the elbows or significantly change the way it is called for your idea to be practical. Since its a player safety issue, there is absolutely no chance that will happen...and therefore doing away with the alternate possession would be a disaster. [/QUOTE]
