College basketball:
Give each team only ONE time out in the final two minutes of the game, especially during tournament time.
Eliminate "piggybacking" on TV timeouts. For example, there's a mandatory commercial break at 16:00. But a coach calls a quick timeout at 16:01 and gets a commercial break. Then they throw the ball in again off a defender's foot and the ball goes out of bounds, and they get ANOTHER commercial break because of the TV timeout. Coaches are starting to abuse this a lot.

-NBA Travelling (needs to be rewritten as its hardly ever called when it should be)
Wouldn't traveling be taking your hand and moving the ball why it's in the air at the top of it's bounce in any direction in the horizontal?
In other words, the ball handlers, when dribbling do so much action on the ball it's like carry.
I also don't get why players get so many steps when they are laying up to the basket.

Yep, it's a cheap nonsensical way to make a comparison.

Offensive holding should be a loss of down.

Elaborate trophy presentations. Some border on a religious event.

I would like to see the basket raised in the NBA.
Also, I have emailed the NBA my idea but never got a response. What about a 'high flyer' competition during NBA All-Star weekend with a basket that raises a few inches each round. See who can jam the highest rim. (like a high jump contest)... Or does this suck?
man you really Britta'd that post.

Prevent defenses: just play what got you there in the first place
with the possible exception of spread offense, no term is more used and less understood than prevent defense.
You should ckeck the end of the Duke-Cincinnati game to see why an actual prevent defense is useful.

Describing an injury by just the body part.
"He's out with a knee."
"He's listed as doubtful with an elbow."
Dumbest shite ever. A knee what? An elbow what? frick.

As for the fans:
1. BAN THE WAVE
2. Confiscate any signs that consist of a fence and the letter "D"
3. Stop playing "Seven Nation Army" at football games

Multiple four minute (plus) commercial breaks in football need to go. Make it *ONE* two minute break for every five minutes of game time, just like college basketball has TV timeouts at 16, 12, 8 and 4.
Review? Injuries? Tough titties. Analyze. Do the stupid sideline reporter shite.
But, this sequence:
End of quarter
*commercial break*
First down, sideline catch, review
*commercial break*
Second down, ooooooh injury
*commercial break*
Third down, incomplete pass
Fourth down, punt, change of possession
*commercial break*
First down, long pass, touchdown
*commercial break*
Total game time elapsed.... About three minutes.
That shite needs to go. I understand that advertising (and gambling) are driving the bus in football, but still.
shite, just have sponsors for the non TV timeout shite.
"This dislocated hip timeout is brought to you by Advil."
"Let's go down to Judy for the Kotex touchy-feely story about Larry Fitzgerald's dog."
"Moose's analysis of Jay Cutler's baffling interception is brought to you by Harrah's!"
"Let's go to the replay booth for the Eyemasters review."

I'm tired of the celebration with the players jumping in the air touching backs. shite is old and everyone does it. Needs to go away.

Music during NBA basketball games. I am not talking about the organs playing charge or defense. I am talking about playing actual music or instrumentals.
