What would a season be without some rule changes

How about the one that says, "Bench personnel who are not students will be allowed to serve as peacekeepers when an altercation occurs."

nothing really "eye-opening" or controversial in regards to the rules they listed.

i would consider this "BIG" if they instituted some kind of challenge like the NBA does, mainly because this rule is really difficult to call with how fast/athletic these dudes are. however, this is how this always should have been called, but too many refs LOVE to be the "show" and they LOVE to make that charge call. the restricted area call is easy. are your feet inside or outside of it? easy call. but we gotta stop the dudes that are thinking they are "set" after a guy is into his shooting motion going at the rim. hopefully this will curb guys from trying this.

I agree about some refs, but then if they are that way a slight rule change will yield no different outcome. As for the NBA rule of disputed calls, do they have to use a timeout, and if they do the refs still can say yes or no? Unfortunately, unless they have a third party review the call things will still get murky. It is like the verticality rule it is still up to a ref to decide what is and what is not a foul and we have seen calls go one way and then another. Reffing is a tough job, but then they are paid for it so they deserve the criticism when they are wrong.

On a side note, I have always been against Booing a player but now that most are paid what are the feeling of fans now on that subject? Maybe a theme for another thread???
