After thr Man City ref controversy today, i wondered why the nba doesn’t implement an “advantage” rule.

The NBA wanted to discourage fastbreak fouls with a take foul, but that still stops the fastbreak. Instead the refs should play advantage until the fastbreak is hindered by the foul and asses the take oul anyway after.

Also the goaltending rules can be a bit harsh for the defense, the backboard goaltending call should be erased, most of the time you don’t know if it even has a chance to go in.

    i really like all of those. the last one is great. never seen that from all the pundits trying to avoid tanking. seems so obvious once i read it. still helps bad teams, but at least gives them something to “try” for. nice list!

      It would still promote the 10th worst team to throw their remaining 10 games to improve draft odds which is the bulk of tanking’s problems

        i get that side, but seeing the bottom 3 teams scrambling to not be last is amusing to me. it’s like not getting picked last in a pick-up game. breathing that sigh of relief being picked 2nd to last is nice. or so i’ve been told…
