List Three Changes To Improve Womens College BB

Yes, us old farts played with a jump ball on all tie ups. Yes, the circles are on either side of the FT lines and center court. Yes, that wedgie is a jump ball. Usually a jump is between the 2 players vying for the ball. With the wedgie I think it's the two rebounders closest to the ball. Not sure on that one.
Height may seem unfair with jump balls, but a well-schooled team can steal the tap. Lots of things you can do on a tap. You can slide over after the ball's touched. From an offensive posture, you look for two like jerseys next to each other and you tap the ball between them and try to run a play if you have the advantage.

Thanks. That's what I was picturing and wanted to be sure.

Seeing how teams strategize jump balls when there's a size disadvantage would be fun to see on the college level.
 
3. Make all teams start a game with minus 10 points on the scoreboard if their team mascot is a plant, a neutered male animal, or a short little man who does nothing but dance a jig.
Since I was asked for explanation of the second, . . . a TREE, a LONGHORN STEER, an IRISHman
 
Off the top of my head, better refs. Anyone else come up with that? ;)
 
I don’t get upset much when watching the game however this year‘s tournament truly had me beside myself. The officiating was remarkably bad and in many cases had an effect on the outcome of the game. How they fix that is the $64,000 question.
 
Better timekeeping. I don't know whether it's the humans or the hardware, but very few of the games I watched didn't stop at least 3-4 times due to either the shot or game clock not starting.

The officiating goes without saying.
