The new "charging" parameters will make it harder for referees to judge than easier, regardless of what Rick Barnes claims. Determing the moment of "planting the foot" will be difficult in real time.

• Players would be allowed to wear numbers 0-99.

Increases the jersey number pool from the current 36 allowed numbers to 100.

I see more blocking calls being called. It gives the offense player more reason to jump into the defense player.

An extra media timeout. That should pass easily.

An optional rule would allow for preloaded/live video to be transmitted to the bench area. This has been an experimental rule for the past two years.

Officials would be able to review goaltending/basket interference calls during the next media timeout to ensure the calls were accurate, as long as the official calls it on the floor.

If there is a foul on the shooter while the ball is in the air with a goaltend/basket interference, the review would be immediate to properly adjudicate the potential free throws.

Nonstudent bench personnel would be allowed to serve as peacekeepers when an altercation occurs.

Under two minutes, when a coach requests an out-of-bounds play be reviewed, that team would be charged a timeout if the original call is not overturned.

Anytime the ball hits the rim and the offense retains possession in the front court, the shot clock would reset to 20 seconds.

If a player is called for a foul and instant replay officials see that the foul is a direct result of a flagrant 1 or flagrant 2 foul against the player who was originally assessed a foul, officials would be allowed to remove the foul on the player who was flagrantly fouled.

A timeout would 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.)

If a player commits three flagrant 1 fouls in a game, the player would be disqualified from the game.

Players would be allowed to wear numbers 0-99.

Schools would no longer have to submit a waiver for players to wear religious headwear, provided it is safe for competition.

Red and amber lights would be allowed on the backboard

What about a rule that if the refs miss two shot clock violations within 5 minutes of time the refs would be disqualified from the game.

I would rather see more no calls when the offensive man jumps into the defensive man. Especially when the defensive man moves his feet in an attempt to establish good guarding position. Jay Bilas talks about the new block/charge call rule all the time. I guess they have to make the rule adjustment because he is so much smarter than everyone else.

Yes, I agree. It should be a no call in that circumstance. However, if the defender’s feet is set it should be a charge.

Rather see no calls. Then everyone can complain there was no call..... ;-)

Who will have the first Blazer 69?

They could prefer 77, and get eight more.
