SUGGESTED NBA RULE CHANGE

[SleepingHero]

You know how you know something is set up to gas light you...is when topics are brought up and posters conveniently side-step talking about an important part of the problem....like there is no elephant in the room.

You know what is even more glaring than that...is when posters give rigid excuses why something cant be done and give no possible solutions to their excuse.   As if...its just impossible to them so there is no solution available.

I think there are tons of solutions to this problem...but...conveniently...no one wants to hear them, talk about them or they want to claim that its possible to fix.  They prefer inconsistent rules and ref'ing and key players being eliminated from games, lol.   What a creation

Ok Cause and Effect time:

You said:

1) Players have to play soft after a couple of fouls early or they have to play soft late because of being in foul trouble.  This is bad for basketball and fans

2) It eliminates ref error or ref bad actors

Both omahen and I retorted and pointed out the actual effect removing the foul cap limit would cause. As it removes all incentive to actually play basketball. 

Your response is that I'm trying to...gaslight you? Do you know what gaslighting is? 

Ok back to the argument...

What I'm trying to gather is that you don't like touch fouls being called? Ok I agree. How can we fix that? Well I believe the first real step would be abolishing the NBA Referee Union. That way the refs are no longer protected for any reason.

2nd: I'd install an independent 3rd party review system that tracks every referee call individually, every game, and generate a report card. Refs lose points for inaccurate calls, miscalls, or excessive calls. Any referee below a "B" on the report card will be sent down to the G-League. Only "A" refs can be designated crew chiefs and can ref playoff basketball games. 

3rd: I'd recruit referees from the Euroleague. They don't take shit.

4th: I'd immediately abolish all forms of protesting/complaining/barking etc. from players and coaches. NBA teams have to designate a single person on the coaching staff and only that person can talk to refs. Further, that designated person can only speak to refs during dead balls. Any player or coach that violates this rule is given a team technical foul (as in it doesn't count as a personal tech for ejection), but also instantly puts the opposing team in the bonus. So players/coaches can if they so choose complain to an official, but doing so gives the other team a possible advantage.

Do these suggestions meet your expectations?
