things I hate in the NBL rules

Get rid of the arrow all together and bring back the good old Jump Ball. This eliminates all confusion with arrows etc.
Sure, you sometimes had a 'mismatch' in height, but it made the game more exciting.
I guess it will never revert back as it has been brought in here to follow other FIBA countries.

"Grow up and play with the rules that are given to you." ???

Just because we play by the rules year after year doesn't mean that we have to like them. Do you never get annoyed by people who live in your street? People you work with? Your public transport or politicians?

i thought we lived in a free country where we could have a different opinion and express it (within reasonable limts).

I don't like the rule that below a certain amount of time, a catch and shot is disallowed. It must be a tip in. With all the technology they have, they can check if it was released before the buzzer. It reduces the amount of options a coach can draw up.

Anon, I hate the time-out on the floor rule too.

Another thing I hate is how the last minute of the game can take five minutes to finish, because teams start fouling no matter how far behind they are. I know it's supposed to introduce pressure and tension during the walk down to the other end for the foul shots, and hope they miss, but ... it's so damn painful to sit through.
Years ago, they got really tough on fouls in the last minute, and I wish they'd do it again. If there's one thing that's going to p.. off the casual fan it must be the fouling in the last minute or two and the walks down the other end when the game is already lost.

It disgusts me that they scrapped the timeout on the floor rule.

Hate the arc under the basket, what's wrong with playing defence?

The Wildcats forward has denied Hodge a fourth consecutive award by winning his 2nd POTW award for the season.

You would have to think that if Hodge had maybe played a further 5 minutes he probably would have snatched it.

Not REALLY a rule, but the way charges are being called. Back in the day (ha!) there used to be what, 2-3 charges a game. Max. Now you get that a quarter some games. Players are worried about driving because of it. Takes away the in your face dunks.
