Because I have nothing to add to the discussion of yesterday's softball game and there really isn't a whole lot going on in recruiting as it pertains to the Lady Vols. For your discussion enjoyment!
The rules committee has made a few proposals for changes that I have been hoping to see for several seasons and one that I think just recognizes an existing reality.
First, the proposal that just recognizes what occurs at every game - the committee proposes extending the coach's box to 38' from the current 28' that coaches routinely ignore. Now if the referee's will only hold them to it!
A rule change that I have been hoping for is no reset on the 10 second backcourt clock when the offensive team calls timeout. Now if they will just eliminate the coaches calling timeouts in that circumstance and when the defensive team has put a trap on!
And, if adopted, they might actually make a player exit the lane to avoid a 3-second call.
And, one that will allow Holly to take one more timeout with her at the end of the game - eliminating the use-it or lose-it timeout at half.
One that may hurt the Lady Vols until we get some consistently quicker players. They propose extending the arc from 3' to 4'. My personal thought is that this will benefit the quicker guards in their drives to the basket and may result in more blocks being called.
I'm looking forward to seeing how many of the proposals actually make it into the rule book for the next season.
I'll be interested to see how many people agree with the 10 second rule change!
