Message: [QUOTE="LwrcasefaN, post: 4178316, member: 11185"] Even a slight improvement in officiating would improve the game. My wish would include...a free throw for flopping. A no-call for plays where the defense is [I]retreating[/I] and the offensive player initiates contact to get a foul. For starters, it just contradicts the whole idea of freedom of movement for the offense, when they choose to run into someone intentionally. Why can an offensive player run through the defense, but the defense can't run through them? And...more of a rule issue versus officiating is the length and number of timeouts. It's worse when there are tv timeouts. Why is a 30-second timeout 3 minutes? I've seen games where the last 2-3 minutes of a game took 20 minutes to finish! Lastly, I don't think a team with no timeouts left should be able to request a review under 2 minutes. Teams are using it as a timeout and could care less about the review. [/QUOTE]
