A few FIBA rules i'd like the NBA to adopt

[intruder]

First off let me say I hate most of FIBA's rules especially the one about being able to take the ball off the rim on defense but like many things it has it's advantages.


I'd like to see the NBA implement these for a trial season.

• Reduce the amount of time out each team gets. Too many play stoppages at times. Speed up the game.
• You should be able to sub in players at any stoppage of play
• Only 4 in the box while players are at the FT line. DOnt know why but i like this about FIBA. Less clutter around the basket.

The play stoppages only seem smaller because there were 8 less minutes to kill.

I'm kinda open to the 5 fouls allowed per player rule from FIBA too but there is a huge pro and con

• PRO - makes the game less physical
• CON - Makes the game less physical

I agree with the timeouts, less is more

they need to let the NBA get more physical. NBA refs go crazy with their whistle

If anything, they should raise the foul limit in the NBA.

They play 8 less minutes in FIBA, so of course the foul limit wouldn't be as high.

Oh yeah thats true too.

I couldnt see the NBA playing less than 12 mins per quarter. If anything i wouldnt mind raising it to a 15 minute quarter. More bball the better

NO

That would let people foul just for the fukk of it thus making them even lazier on defense.

Wont you just make it a gladiator sport like football while you're at it?

 

[GoddamnyamanProf]

Not a FIBA rule but they need to grant everyone an extra foul in overtime.

Nah, it'll make the the refs' horrible calls have less of an impact.

How many times have we been robbed from seeing star players on the court because of foul trouble? shyt, Spain just saw it with Marc Gasol today.

Either JVG or Steve Kerr has floated this idea as well.

 

[shadowwalker]

They need to stop calling b*tch fouls in the nba. Ruins the entire flow of the game.

 

[Real Talk of NY]

They need to call traveling like they do in FIBA. /Thread

 

[diddykong]

get rid of start calls. that is ruining the game. but stern wants $$$ and these calls help make them into them.

alot of fraudsters in the nba. only kobe and kobe are legit currently. durrant is climbing up

i actually like that rule

I actually like the 10 minute quarters better than 12. Makes each possession mean more and players wouldn't take as many plays off.
