Message: [QUOTE="Cowtown, post: 1658211, member: 2350"] Rules have not evolved as much as I think? When I played in HS and in college, there was no 3 point line nor shot clock. Those are [I]huge[/I] changes, and they made the game better. Did you look at the link? For a real hoot, read the part about boundaries. It must have been like a keystone cops movie. And I don't agree that rules are disregarded. Rather, there's an evolution not only in the rules themselves, but also how they're interpreted and applied. Block charge is a prime example, it used to be you had to be stationary to draw a charge. That implied you play defense standing still, and no coach I know will ever agree to that. So the interpretation and application was changed to where once you establish LGP, you can move to maintain it. Another problem with "the rulebook" is that there's more than one. Just listen to some of the BS Charles Barkley says when he's on the NCAA March Madness broadcasts, LOL! [/QUOTE]
