Message: [QUOTE="pfister1, post: 2191719, member: 285"] Upon a quick scan I don't see a single rule that being considered that fixes anything that is broken or even remotely in disrepair. Maybe the committee should occasionally say, "we don't need any rule changes this year." "Adjust the officiating guidance in relation to the cylinder rule. [B]If a defensive player straddles an offensive player’s leg in a way that prohibits him from making a normal basketball move[/B] — which now includes pivoting — contact that creates a common foul will be called on the defensive player." I'm thinking that if a defensive player straddles an offensive player's leg, that it should just be a simple assault and we should let local law enforcement handle it. [/QUOTE]
