Scholarship table
Awe, that sucks, but I stand corrected.
Some other interesting rule changes in there, including:++ Under two minutes, when a coach requests an out-of-bounds play be reviewed, that team will be charged a timeout if the original call is not overturned.(This should help speed up the end of games, which often become interminable bores.)++ A timeout will be able to be granted when a player has possession of the ball even though the player is airborne. An example would be a player grabbing a loose ball and calling timeout before landing out of bounds.(This used to be allowed but they stopped allowing it several years ago.)++ Players will be allowed to wear numbers 0-99.(Nice. There's no good reason players shouldn't be restricted to the numbers they have been.)
In the dark ages, it was so the referees could signal the scorers table with one digit represented on each hand when calling a foul. Thus 55 was the highest number available.
Yes, because either the refs, or the scorers were too dumb to be able to figure out the higher numbers like 77. I would go with the refs being too dumb.
Well, it did take 15 years after the game was invented to cut the bottom out of the peach basket. Evolution.
Bump.
Ref just flat out missed that call. The near-elimination of the charge this season has been wonderful. What an improvement to the game.
Lol. Bump. Even if you like the rule, refs have absolutely no idea how to call the rule correctly. Kid is backpedaling and moving to the side. First of all, dangerous for the airborn player. Second of all, just garbage bail outs for not actually being able to defend. You get penalized for being more athletic. Which is wild to do in sports.
