Know what rule makes absolutely no sense? 

Post#1 » by deanwoof » Sat May 29, 2010 1:59 am

After a kick ball, the shot clock gets reset (to 14). You're rewarding bad offense?

What are some of your rules that make no sense?

that rule makes sense

otherwise you could kick it with the clock winding down and force the offense into a bad shot

i think the OP thinks if the offensive team kicks the ball while in possession, they get a fresh 14 second clock

+1. OP doesn't have a grip on the rulebook.

"Shot clock winding down, three, two, one, ohhhh! He just gets the punt off in time. They'll put 14 back on the clock and they'll have a chance to set something up again. Time out called on the floor, we're halfway through the third, it's a thrilling 16-12! Stick around, we're in for a good one"

Either that or they don't like bounce passes.

Know what rule makes absolutely no sense? The lame perimeter touch fouls that the league has been calling since around 2003. Those are pathetic and soft calls and slow down the game needlessly.
