After a decade-plus stretch of giving up demoralizing offensive boards, this is an interesting one. I kinda like it. The vast majority of the time you get it in the frountcourt so it’s not like you have to bring the ball up. 14 seconds is plenty of the time to set up and run a play. If they do it for a non-shooting foul, this too works for me.
Clear path is one I seem to think gets called very inconstistantly, so perhaps a simplification would be better.
I’m usually all for the usage of replays because I rather sit there for an extra couple minutes to make sure the game is correctly called, but I feel like they review way too many fouls. I would prefer it can only be reviewed if they call it a flagrant. Then they can either rate it (I vs II) or downgrade it. if it didn’t sound/look like a hostile act, it was probably incidental.
I would most like to see more refs in the playoffs. Baseball does it with umps (even though they really don’t have to with challenges nowadays), and I think an extra ref could help immensely. I know they are experimenting with it (G-League?) and would take some getting used to by the refs as they are used to 3-man teams, but I think it would be worth it. I think we would get a more accurately-called game, which oftentimes in the playoffs can be the difference.
